A tractor-trailer overturned, and several individuals were taken to hospitals.
The Allamuchy Fire Department received a dispatch shortly after midnight on Thursday. Units that responded were Assistant Chief 91, Heavy Rescue 91-75, Engine 91-61 and Rescue 91-74. Responders reached the scene to discover one overturned tractor-trailer, two other tractor-trailers participating in the collision and two impaired passenger cars.
