FORT LEE, New Jersey (WABC) -- A tractor trailer struck a George Washington Bridge toll plaza in Fort Lee. Traffic was snarled at the bridge after the truck spilling its cargo. Port Authority police stopped the truck as it crossed the George Washington Bridge and directed it off the roadway. Crews are working to clear the lumber spilled in the roadway at the toll plaza. Port Authority says the inbound upper level had, at one point, a delay of greater than 90 minutes.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- This week we are celebrating not just one MTA hero, but an entire category of them: group station managers. These multi-taskers wear many hats within New York City's subway system. Among other things, they provide customer service and make sure stations are kept clean and up-to-date. On Tuesday the MTA announced group station managers will be hosting office hours twice a month now at subway stations across the city.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- This week's MTA Heroes saved something so special to one commuter: her engagement ring. When one train rider accidentally misplaced her ring, a ticket clerk, a recently engaged man himself, and members of the MTA Police Department immediately took action. " My first move was to ask what was going on and that's when she said she lost the engagement ring and then from there on out, we were searching the whole train car," Ticket Clerk Nicholas Appel said.
