Minivan Overturns At GWB Tollbooth, Injuring Four

A minivan carrying a family apparently returning from vacation was rear-ended by a pickup truck as it approached the lower level eastbound toll lane of the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee late Wednesday morning, according to a Port Authority spokesman.

The force of the crash, which occurred at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, caused the minivan to overturn and crash into the vehicle in front of it, Ron Marsico of the Port Authority said.

Three people in the minivan and the driver of the pickup truck, whose names were not released pending an investigation, were taken to Hackensack Medical Center with minor, non-life threatening injuries, Marsico said.

The accident resulted in delays to eastbound traffic and the temporary closure of at least three tollbooths. By 12:30 p.m. the accident had been cleared and all lanes reopened, Marsico said.
