A fiery early morning crash on Thursday closed traffic in both directions on the East Coast's main north-south driving route as authorities had to close down a section of highway because of a crash involving a passenger vehicle and a tanker carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline.
As The Associated Press reported, text messages were sent to residents and trucking companies in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut urging them to find alternate routes while the repairs continued.

The governor called the traffic jams in the area"horrendous.
