A U-Haul truck crashed into two State Police vehicles on Route 17 in Woodbury after a trooper had stopped a vehicle on the highway.
State Police had pulled over a vehicle on westbound Route 17 near Exit 130-A. During the traffic stop, two individuals were taken into custody by State Police at gunpoint.
The troopers remained on the side of the highway with their vehicles after the arrest when a U-Haul truck crashed into two State Police vehicles — one marked patrol car and one unmarked vehicle.
Woodbury Fire Department, Woodbury Police and Woodbury EMS responded to the scene.
The troopers sustained minor injuries in the crash, but they were outside of the vehicles when the U-Haul struck them. There were no serious injuries reported.
