India, Nov. 12 -- A pedestrian was tragically killed on Route 495 in New Jersey during the early hours of Wednesday, resulting in a traffic jam at the Lincoln Tunnel, ABC7 reported.

The incident occurred on the westbound lane at Kennedy Boulevard in Union City.

Traffic departing from the Lincoln Tunnel was observed being redirected onto local streets.

Inbound traffic to New York City was congested all the way back on Route 3 near the Meadowlands due to rubbernecking.

Delays were further intensified by the closure of the express bus lane, which caused buses to mix with regular traffic.

Commuters have been advised to utilize the George Washington Bridge as an alternative.

The reason for the crash is currently being investigated.
