Overturned produce truck blocks Turnpike lanes in South Jersey

WESTAMPTON — A tractor trailer hauling a load of produce overturned Tuesday morning on the New Jersey Turnpike in South Jersey, shutting down two lanes.

The Turnpike reported the tractor trailer, which was hauling a load of produce, overturned near Exit 5 for Burlington-Mt.Holly around 11 a.m. State Police spokesman Lawrence Peale said there was also a fuel spill that needs to be cleaned up.

Leaving the Turnpike at Exit 4 for Route 73 in Mount Laurel gets drivers to Route 295 and around the delay.
