STORM UPDATE: NJ State Police Respond To 145 Crashes On Slick Roads


1It’s slow-going on New Jersey’s highways as rain has turned to snow across the state, leading to a reduction in speed limits and more than 100 accidents reported.

The speed has been reduced to 35 mph Thursday along the 122-mile length of the New Jersey Turnpike.

The New Jersey State Police says troopers have responded to 145 crashes and 148 calls to assist motorists since midnight.

The state Transportation Department says it has more than 2,300 plows and salt spreaders on the highways. But it’s tough for them to gain ground as the heavy, wet snow continues to fall.

Accumulations range from 10 inches in Montague Township, 5 ½ in Belvidere and 2½ inches in Bridgewater.

A winter storm warning remains in effect. Forecasters say the snow should end by the middle of the day.

Air travelers have been told to check with their airlines for delays.
