A serious, multi-car crash has caused delays on the Garden State Parkway in Brick, New Jersey .

I saw the MSNBC chopper go over after quite some time had passed.
I live about 300 feet from the tollbooths.

We (my mother and I) awoke at 6:30 this morning to the shrill of tires screeching followed by a massive booming impact.

I came out with my binoculars and camera, to find a flipped vehicle and loads of police and medivac vehicles. The evac chopper flew over me and landed about 50ft away directly on the parkway, to receive the person on the stretcher.

Surprised as I was, there was no reported deaths, yet just about everything I saw looked fatal. Some cars were mangled beyond belief as you can see in the pictures.

I ran up and down the road talking with the commuters who were stuck nearby. Later, the fire dept. hosed and foamed down the gasoline spills, while the front loaders came by to push the loads of debris off the street.

The entrance was opened fairly quickly, while northbound traffic had to wait for nearly 2 hours, until finally being released.

For some reason, I can never have a good day off, nor can I ever sleep in. Something bad always happens....and I find a way to get involved.

-How insensitive, you are complaining about not sleeping in when 4 people were involved in such a horrific accident. Just be lucky that it wasn't you and everyone survived.
