State Police have released preliminary details following a multi-vehicle crash that occurred Saturday morning, January 17, on Interstate 78 amid snow covered road conditions in Greenwich Township.
According to police, the crash involved 12 vehicles at mile marker 39.1 and was reported around 7:51 a.m. The incident included four commercial vehicles and eight passenger vehicles, with some occupants initially trapped inside their vehicles. Emergency crews responded to the scene to assist with extrication, and towing operations were conducted as damaged vehicles were removed from the roadway.
