The eastbound driver tried to make a U-turn at Huyler Street from the eastbound fast lane when the truck toppled the light on the border of Moonachie and South Hackensack at 1:15 a.m., Moonachie Police Lt. Jeff Napolitano said.
A New Jersey Department of Transportation crew arrived around 5 a.m. to begin repairs, Napolitano.
This took out the fast lane on both sides of the highway, "adding to the pain of the (morning) commute," the lieutenant said.
Work was completed around 10 a.m. and the highway was completely reopened, he said.The driver received summonses, Napolitano said.
