Budd Lake, NJ — April 13th — Due to a debris hazard involving a dropped pallet of eggs, the Budd Lake Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene at Route 46 and Mount Olive Road. Crews arrived to find the roadway covered, creating slippery conditions and traffic concerns. Another incident involving a pallet of eggs falling on the ramp connecting Interstate 80 eastbound to Route 46 was reported while units were in operation.
To maintain traffic flow and handle that scene, more resources were assigned. Firefighters cleared the rubble, secured both sites, and worked with nearby authorities. Coordinated cleanup is frequently necessary to restore safe travel conditions following commercial vehicle spill incidents. Without any delay, both scenes were cleared. Shortly after, regular traffic operations resumed with no reported injuries.
