GSP: In this morning’s episode of dangerous crap in the Garden State Parkway… we bring you cardboard boxes! Sure, we have posted boxes in the roadway many times before- and this was nothing different. The boxes were in the Parkway near milepost 72 southbound, and NJ State Troopers were going to clear the debris out of the highway. While the trooper was waiting for backup to arrive for a slowdown to safely clear the road, he saw an opportunity. This brave trooper was able to clear all the boxes out of the road himself, and pile the mess behind the guardrail for maintenance to pick up. Thankfully nobody got hurt, and no vehicles were damaged.

Again, please secure your loads as you travel. You are not the only person or vehicle using our roads.
