An incident in Cherry Hill caused significant traffic disruptions on Monday when a truck collided with a power line, resulting in the closure of Route 70. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the accident.
According to authorities, the incident occurred around noon near Cornell Avenue when a truck traveling along Route 70 struck a low-hanging wire. While the collision did not result in any injuries, it caused temporary closures on both sides of the roadway.
In response to the accident, the westbound lanes of Route 70 were shut down for several hours as crews worked to clear the area and assess any damage. The closure led to traffic delays and diversions in the vicinity.
However, as of late Monday afternoon, officials confirmed that Route 70 has been fully reopened to traffic. Commuters and travelers can now resume their journeys with normal traffic flow restored along the affected route.
While the incident caused disruptions and inconvenience for motorists, the swift response of emergency crews helped to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. Authorities continue to urge drivers to remain vigilant and exercise caution while traveling through the area.
As always, stay informed about traffic updates and road conditions to ensure a safe and smooth journey during your travels.
