A dump truck overturned and caught fire in an accident this morning, according to state police.

The driver of the truck, the only vehicle involved, was killed according to police. They have not released the name of the driver.

The truck crashed under an overpass for 195, where traffic has also been diverted. Thomas Feeney, the spokesman for the Turnpike Authority, said engineers would inspect the overpass to determine if there was any damage.

Feeney said southbound traffic on the turnpike would have to exit at interchange 9, northbound is exiting at interchange 4.

Eastbound traffic on 195 is being diverted at exit 5, and westbound at exit 7, according to police.

Feeney and police did not have an estimated time for when the turnpike would resume normal traffic.
