The New Jersey Turnpike Authority sent out a notice just after 5:30pm that there was a large crash (we are hearing 15 cars) on the Garden State Parkway Northbound in Bass River Township, Burlington County, New Jersey.
As of 6:47pm the all northbound lanes were closed north of exit 48.
We are currently un-aware of the status of this crash. Be safe as you travel today. Roads are likely icy and slippery and extremely dangerous.

Jennifer Jems us too ????
Jennifer Jems Same here.
Jennifer Jems same ????
Jennifer Jems same we were just on at the entrance and stopped
Tracy Iaderosa hope u all made it home safe. The responders really cleared the area well, saw no sign of the crashes, and the roads were heavily salted to make it safer. Stay safe, drive slow.

Filizuh Tyrant we are just getting under the exit sign. We moved a bit woo-hoo

Filizuh Tyrant are u in a car or truck?
Be thankful your moving and going home alive ????
Jaclyn Hasulak-Ruding In a black sedan with tint in the far left lane. If you saw a guy on the side of the road, over the guardrail, yelling at a car driving on the shoulder, that was me
Jaclyn Hasulak-Ruding I’m ahead of you now as your lane is getting slowed down by the merging traffic
Filizuh Tyrant yes I saw u yelling at the car they think they are special cuz they have new York plates. At least we are starting to move
Jaclyn Hasulak-Ruding Yup. That was me yelling at the New York entitled folks. Get home safely!
Filizuh Tyrant yes you too

Izzy Amarando, are you guys staying down there tonight? Did you see this?
Joan, yes. Suz and Mark left a little while ago. We’re staying. I told Susie Q to text me when she got home.
Izzy Amarando, okay, thanks! Have fun!
Free air fryer at trop. I’m up $100 here and now dinner at Bobby Flays. It’s all good.
Izzy Amarando so icey in freehold got to oldbridge n above nothing iselin us dry
Suz Cque, hope your drive home is okay. Bad accident on the Parkway earlier ????
Joan E Cardinale we got stuck in that mess. Longest drive home ever. Thxoxo
Glad you’re okay
Joan E Cardinale thank you, happy Valentine’s Day xo
Suz, thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day to you both!
Suz glad you’re home and safe. Probably some idiot doing 100. Big rush to go nowhere.
It’s truly unbelievable to see some of the comments here and other pages of some people bitching about sitting for mins to hours in stand still due to multiple MVA.. Be thankful your alive warm and going home tonight and its not a family members of yours. Prayers for all involved, and the people that are stuck waiting to get home, I hope you make it home safely ????????
Pretty sure most of them are simply stating how long they were sitting for. I bet they are all thankful they weren’t involved and hoping for the best for all involved. Someone saying they have been stuck for 2 hrs tells you how bad it is.

The Bass River Bridge is reported to be very icy at times. That’s between mileposts 50-52; USE CAUTION! Bridges always freeze before roadways.
❤️Stay Safe
Thank you to all our first responders, police, fire, Emt and Tow truck driver’s I’m praying for all involved and you all make it home safely to your families ????
Kim Marie don’t forget the tow truck operators ❤️
Stephen Sheldon YES, I’m sorry and THANK YOU, please get home safely
Stephen Sheldon All fixed ????????????????
I hope everyone is OK, cars can be replaced lives can’t.
????????
All I have to say is the guys that are driving to salt truck are morons completely ruin my car with salt by stopping next to me while it just bounced off my car
Anthony Barone could be worse, you could’ve been bouncing off other cars in this crash
Chelle Shell exactly
you’re really not supposed to drive up close to a salt truck anyway. The guys don’t control the salt as it falls or bounces off the road or back bumper….
Instead, you could thank the guys that are away from their families for days at a time to keep the roads driveable to avoid MORE accidents.
Anthony Barone you’re and idiot…..????♂️
Chelsie Saldino well i was stopped and the guy pulled up next to me and sat there…sooooooooooooooo thanks for your dumb comment
Chelsie Saldino laughed at thank the guy…its his job
Anthony Barone just based off your comment I can tell it’s waste of time to even continue this conversation lol. Be safe driving bud.
Chelle Shell excellent response
Daniel Lotito soft bro
Anthony Barone you don’t even know me???? fuck off buddy!
Chelle Shell obviously it could have been worse!!! So i guess its cool that my car is all dented…..after all it could have been worse
Daniel Lotito clown
????
Chelsie Saldino thanks Karen
Daniel Lotito my point exactly
So wait your car is ruined because salt bounced off it?! And the salt truck driver is a moron for doing his job??
Am I getting this right?!
I’d rather have salt bounce off my car until it slowly rusts away over bouncing off a car or fkn tree from hitting black ice.
Geez I think the only moron here is you, buddy. Good luck with that!
Jen Andzeski thanks Karen, well when you work really hard in life to buy nice things like an expensive car and some moron pulls up next to you while you are stoped and completely dents it……
Jen Andzeski ooooo lol you drive a shitter lol
This should be a form of vandalism
Fred Koch did you see this or hear
Tommy Dickles
Samantha Anne did you go to bass river
Tommy Dickles i see what you did there
Maryellen Hendel

Tracey
Kimberly Paige Valor omg I hope everyone is ok. I just posted to see on another site if anyone heard anything about the people involved.
Probably due to the freezing rain as people speed along the roads, still speeding. Moron drivers of Jersey…

Louis Saldino Kelsey Fisher
Chelsie Saldino safe !
Anthony Margentino
Andy DeCarlo it was probably caused by one of the people flying by us like it was a sunny day
???????????????? for all
Christine Melillo Savage
I’m hearing 18 cars crashing
Prayers…its icy out there
Yep The speed signs say “conditions permitting” Overhead signs “ICE AHEAD”.
NJ NY Pa drivers just ignore that and here’s the result.
How’d that “ME FIRST” work out for them tonight?
Possibly as many as 19 cars total involved in the pileup.
To those commenting @Anthony, I don’t think you understood. Yes, everyone stuck in that traffic were grateful for the salt trucks. The trucks continually drove up the shoulder spreading salt since the bridge at the top was an ice skating rink. However, there were occasions were they stopped completely and parked for 10+ minutes – but never turned off the salt spreader. So, cars and that section of road were unnecessarily covered in a couple inches of salt.
Jarrod Verge was this what you were stuck in last night?
Sarah Porfirio Verge that is correct..Prayers for everyone involved.
Jarrod Verge glad you made it home safely, just read on NJ.com that there was no injuries, but 19 cars involved!
I was traveling south when this happened. It was pretty bad. I’ve personally never seen such a long line of rear ended cars. The first few cars involved were turned around and wrecked badly. Driving home this morning there was a ton of debris left on the sides of the parkway.
