Impact on traffic: This wreck on the northbound "cars, trucks, and buses" section of the turnpike resulted in traffic redirection, with authorities recommending the inner roadway or alternate routes such as I-295 or Route 206, according to CBS News Philadelphia.

Although there was an injury reported, further details about the victim's condition have not been disclosed.
