Another Tractor-Trailer Tips At 'Tanker Turn'

One of the most notorious stretches of New Jersey blacktop claimed another victim on Wednesday.

A tractor-trailer carrying boxes of sugar tipped over on "tanker turn" -- a bend in the road where northbound Route 95 feeds into westbound Route 80.

Two were hospitalized with injuries that responders said weren't considered life-threatening following the crash shortly after 2 p.m., which jammed area traffic. The roadway remained closed two hours later.
