Four people were injured and the busiest border crossing in the U.S. was closed to northbound vehicle traffic for hours Tuesday after federal agents fired shots across nine lanes of traffic to stop three vans suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants from Mexico, authorities said.
The 74 people crammed into the vans were taken into federal custody.
At least two people were sent to the hospital, one of them flown, after a car goes tumbling near milepost 30 along the Garden State Parkway.
The accident happened just before 8p.m. Tuesday, along the northbound lanes.
Traffic was blocked off for over an hour as crews landed a MedEvac right in the middle of the Parkway.
Police have not released specific details, however they do say the one person flown was unresponsive but did have a pulse.
