Yeah, 66 total vehicles involved in that wreck on 95 today. Most of them were tractor trailers. One was a tanker truck that overturned after hitting the jersey wall and went off the bridge and exploded.

Howdy John. Rick I was still sleeping when that wreck happened. I was at a concert last night and didnt get home until 0130 this morning. Went to bed around 0200. Woke up around 1030 hours. Missed the whole thing other then the clean up. Local news station said the state police alone responded to 330 different accidents this morning because of the ice.

The truck that exploded under the bridge also messed up some railroad tracks tht had to be replaced. Luckily no trains were going through at the time. The driver of that truck was killed sadly.
