SOUTH JERSEY — Several crashes shut down multiple South Jersey highways Thursday as stormy weather moves through the area.

Route 130 will be shut down in both directions for some time because of a crash under investigation in Pennsauken, police said Thursday afternoon. The crash happened at the intersection with Browning Road.

Interstate 295 North has one lane open after a tractor-trailer jackknifed in Mount Laurel. The northbound side was shut down earlier.

Some highways have fully or partially reopened. But drivers may see delays and should exercise caution.
