The collision occurred near mile marker 17.4, near Gibbs Lane, on February 23 at about 11:15 p.m.
According to New Jersey State Police and the Allamuchy Fire Department, multiple police vehicles had their emergency lights activated in the left and center lanes to block off part of I-80 for a crash response.
