Trainspotter Posted December 3, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2007 Storm Watch: 1 Dead, 23 Injured In 15 Car Pile Up Dump Truck Jumps Divider On Meadowlands Parkway NEW YORK (CBS) ― It was a fatal accident that still hasn't been cleared up.A dumptruck got stuck on a Meadowlands Parkway divider, and fifteen cars piled up behind. Five people were rushed to area hospitals, and 23 were treated at the scene. One person has died. Route 3 eastbound is closed near the Parkway at Route 17. Drivers are advised to get off at Route 17 North and get onto Route 120 to make their way east. This weekend's snowfall, and overnight ice, are also taking their toll on morning commuters. The white fluffy flakes turned gray and slushy, turning roadways slick like ice-skating rinks. "[it's] Crazy. Crazy. There's accidents all over the place," said tow truck operator Keith Roman. "People breaking down getting stuck sliding." Full story & video: WCBS - December 3, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramrunner Posted December 3, 2007 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2007 During the night, the road conditions, especially on the highways are severe & really nasty. In the morning it looks like a crazy wind blew off all yesterday's "winter for a day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracknut Posted December 3, 2007 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2007 Route 3 is a bad highway to drive on a normal day imagine with snow and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMT4Life Posted December 3, 2007 Share #4 Posted December 3, 2007 I can't believe that small storm caused all that. Looks like the worse is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
