CRANBURY, N.J. - The New Jersey Turnpike has reopened about two hours after a Greyhound bus crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer, causing non-life-threatening injuries to all six on the bus.

A medivac helicopter landed on the NJ Turnpike on Monday morning to whisk away an injured bus driver.

The crash happened in the southbound lanes in Cranbury Township at around 6:40 a.m.

The driver was removed from the bus about an hour after the crash.

Five passengers suffered minor injuries.

Emergency crews removed many of the passengers through windows and loaded them onto stretchers.

The driver of the truck was not hurt.

Southbound lane of the Turnpike reopened around 8:20 a.m. after being closed for much of the morning rush.
