EDISON — Police are investigating a fatal accident this afternoon that closed portions of Woodbridge Avenue and the ramps to the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 440 by Raritan Center Parkway.
Police said the 1:45 p.m. accident involved a 24-foot truck and a car. One of the vehicles rear-ended the other at a traffic light, authorities said, but additional details have not been released.
At least two people had to be extricated from the car and were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where one apparently died.
The westbound lanes of Woodbridge Avenue remain closed as the investigation continues, police said.
