Neither injury was considered serious.

The crash at the extremely busy intersection at Lemoine Avenue and Bruce Reynolds Boulevard, shortly before 4:30 a.m., ended up jamming morning rush-hour traffic on the bridge's approach roads.

Fort Lee police, firefighters and EMS responded, along with ABC Towing, which used a heavy wrecker to right the toppled tractor-trailer. 

A fuel spill also had to be cleaned up.

The roadway was finally cleared by 9:30 a.m.
