Update: Sgt. Philip Curry of the New Jersey State Police, Public Information Bureau told MidJersey.news:
The crash occurred at 9:45am on the outer roadway of the NJ Turnpike northbound mile post 54, Bordentown, Burlington County. Preliminary investigation revealed that a tractor-trailer was stopped on the right shoulder when it was struck by a northbound traveling utility body pickup truck. The pickup then crossed the roadway and struck the guardrail dividing the inner and the outer roadway coming to a rest partially in the inner roadway right lane and the outer roadway left lane. The truck spilled debris on the outer roadway which caused the outer to be temporarily closed for cleanup. Traffic was diverted to the inner with minimal impact on traffic.
A section of guardrail sustained substantial damage as a result of the crash.
The driver of the TT sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Capital Health.
