The incident occurred early Monday in Salem County.

A section of the New Jersey Turnpike was shut down for about three hours early Sunday after a car traveling in the wrong direction collided with two other vehicles, police said.

The incident occurred a short distance from the Delaware Memorial Bridge in Carneys Point Township just after 1:30 p.m., according to a New Jersey State Police spokesman. A car traveling south in the northbound lanes collided with an SUV and another car, sending three patients to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Northbound lanes were closed for several hours to allow for cleanup of the area, and traffic was diverted to northbound Interstate 295.Our journalism needs your support. Please subscribe today to
