Hackensack firefighters were called to the scene in the westbound lanes where they found the three trucks and one passenger vehicle near Exit 64 around 1:50 p.m., they said.
There were no injuries reported, however, a large fluid spill from the dump trucks required a DOT truck to respond and apply sand to the leaking fluid.
A Bergen County HazMat unit also responded to the scene. Several large tow trucks arrived to remove dump trucks.
New Jersey State Police are conducting the investigation.
