A couple hours ago, a number of vehicles, including a tractor trailer and a dump truck, were involved in an accident on Route 78 in Union, NJ. WCBS 2 reports, "It appears the dump truck may have been traveling westbound and crossed over into the eastbound lanes, slamming head-on into at least two other vehicles and overturning. A tractor trailer traveling eastbound also crashed apparently after swerving out of the path of the dump truck." So far, two people are confirmed dead—and the NJ.com says they were in passenger vehicles.
