A UPS truck overturned along the New Jersey Turnpike, slowing traffic for miles during the Tuesday morning commute.

The tractor-trailer flipped onto its side just before 6 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the turnpike just north of Interchange 4 (NJ Route 73) in Mount Laurel, Burlington County, according to 511NJ.

The truck appeared to have overturned between the ramp and the traffic lanes.

Traffic entering the Turnpike and on the turnpike slowed down due to the ramp and lanes being partially blocked.

A source close to the investigation said a person was injured.

The crash continued to block lanes after more than three hours, with the delay growing to 4 miles.

The turnpike reopened just before 9:30 a.m., according to 511Nj.
