A major crash on the New Jersey Turnpike blocked multiple lanes and sent about 20 people to hospitals, county dispatchers and 511 New Jersey said.

The crash happened north of Exit 7 on the New Jersey Turnpike northbound. 

There is a 3.5-mile backup due to the crash, 511NJ said on X.

Burlington County dispatchers said about 20 people were transported from the scene but there were no reported fatalities.

Chopper 3 showed a FlixBus pulled over on the shoulder and several people with luggage alongside the road. A smaller bus later pulled up and the people with luggage boarded the bus.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
