It was left resting up against the guardrail before it could finally be removed.

Traffic from New York into New Jersey had to be diverted to local roads.

Emergency vehicles were also blocking the inbound express bus lane, so buses were facing big delays as well.

Many commuters were diverted to trains in Secaucus.
