Any Jersey City residents stuck on Pulaski? An overturned vehicle is the cause of the delay on southbound area of South Kearny (South Kearny).

Here’s the report from njcommuter.com:

NJ DOT - TOC North: accident with injuries and overturned vehicle on Pulaski Skyway southbound area of South Kearny(South Kearny) right lane closed 1 mile delay.

Hope the injuries are just minor.

For illustration purpose only. This is not the actual fire.

There was a fire last night (May 29, 2008) at 182 New York Avenue in the Heights area of Jersey City. Eight people were displaced and relocated by Red Cross New Jersey.

The cause is still unknown, but according to the Arson Investigation Unit, the fire is not considered suspicious. Which reminds me of the St. Paul’s Avenue fire last May 11. The owner of that building tried to bribe the inspector, which resulted to his arrest.

A five-alarm fire spread from 272 St. Paul’s Avenue, Jersey City yesterday (May 11, 2008), “burned four homes, destroying two of them and forcing the relocation of 26 people….” according to the news.

It was an unfortunate accident during Mother’s Day, and it took several hours to bring the fire under control.

…At the house where the fire began, two women tenants were assisted out of a first-floor rear window by firefighters. A third family who lived there was at church when the fire broke out….

Meanwhile, a fireman was able to save a hamster, a pet owned by a kid named Miguel Cordova, who said he was still grateful despite of what happened.
