Carteret, NJ : Dozen people injured in 8-vehicle crash in Middlesex County on Sunday, August 28, 2016

An eight-vehicle crash on the NJ Turnpike northbound late Sunday left more than a dozen people with minor injures and jammed traffic in Middlesex County for hours, according to police.

The crash on the inner roadway between exits 12 and 13 involved a limousine and a Mercedes, which caught fire, a witness to the crash told NBC4 in New York.

The accident occurred at 11:27 p.m., when one of the vehicles failed to stop for traffic and hit multiple vehicles, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Jeff Flynn said.

An unknown number of passengers were taken to area hospitals, Flynn said. Traffic summons are pending an investigation, he said.

Traffic delays extended for miles until the roadway was cleared about two hours later, the report said.
