A major crash involving a jacknifed tractor-trailer and a box truck snarled traffic on I-80 in New Jersey for miles early Wednesday, authorities say.

According to transit officials, it was around midnight that a tractor-trailer traveling east on I-80 crashed through a concrete median separating the eastbound from westbound lanes. It hit a box truck, sparking a fire.

All lanes on I-80 eastbound and westbound express were closed. Eastbound local lanes reopened after earlier closures. At least one I-80 westbound lane was expected to reopen around 6 a.m.
