Many people found themselves stuck in traffic in South Jersey after wires fell across the roadway. The wires brought traffic to a full stop on New Jersey’s Route 130 while police and rescuers worked to resolve the concerns. Speak with a Burlington County car accident attorney at Kwartler Manus today.
Truck in the Middle of the Downed Wires
It was not immediately clear what caused the wires to fall. However, news crews in helicopters captured footage of the scene at around 4:30 pm. They found that a large, oversized truck was visible, stopped in the right lane. First responders blocked the road in both directions at that point.
The area along Route 130 in Delran, near the intersection with South Fairview Street, was closed for some time. It is not clear what caused the wires to fall onto the road. There were no immediate reports of anyone hurt. It is also unclear whether the oversized truck caused the downed wires or was otherwise involved. An investigation was ongoing.
What to Do in a Difficult Situation Like This
Never drive over wires. Never touch them or take any action related to them. Instead, call the police for immediate help and stay out of the way of any other parties in the area. By taking these steps, you minimize the risk of additional injury.
