Rollover wreck on interstate results in injuries, authorities say

A vehicle crashed and rolled Friday morning on Interstate 80 West in Knowlton Township and there were injuries, the Warren County Department of Public Safety reports.

The wreck was at mile-marker 4, which is in the vicinity of where emergency roadwork repairs began just after 3:30 a.m. Friday west of the interchange, shutting the right lanes and shoulders in both directions, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

The crash was reported at 7:57 a.m. Delays from construction were 25 to 30 minutes just before 11:30 a.m., NJDOT said, and the crash was causing a 20- to 25-minute delay at that hour as the left lane was closed.

Emergency radio reports indicated a medical helicopter was flying to a nearby landing zone.
