An all-out search to find a big rig truck and its driver, believed to be involved in a possible abduction of a woman in New Jersey, turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
The search began when South Brunswick police said they responded to Route 130 near the Dayton Toyota car dealership around 2 p.m. Wednesday, after receiving a report of a woman seen yelling for help inside a white tractor-trailer cab.
The story was so compelling that investigators got tips from across the country. But the break in the case came from Gabrielli Truck Sales, a truck parts store located on Route 130 near where the incident took place. After a search stretching more than 24 hours, detectives located the truck and the man and woman seen in the video. They were found in Woodbridge just after 5 p.m. Thursday.
The truck stopped abruptly and the woman called out for help, but the driver pulled her back in and rushed off to get to a hospital.
