Bus service from Port Authority to New Jersey resumed shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday with 60-minute delays following the overturned truck in Union City.

The accident on Route 495 came on one of the busiest travel days of the year. The terminal's suspension in service was the latest effect of an earlier incident where a Union City garbage truck rolled off an overpass onto Route 495. One person was in critical condition and several others were injured.

Delays were an hour long as of shortly before 7 p.m.

Shortly after 1 p.m., the garbage truck toppled off of the Palisade Avenue overpass, said Coleman. When the truck rolled off the overpass, it crashed into a Bolt Bus that was traveling on Route 495.

All westbound lanes on Route 495 were shut down and eastbound traffic was delayed due to rubbernecking commuters.

In order to mitigate commuter headaches, New Jersey Transit was cross-honoring bus tickets on NJ Transit rail, New York Waterway and PATH at Hoboken, Journal Square and 33rd Street.
