Dennis Gilbert was driving his flatbed loaded with trees along the New Jersey Turnpike returning to his landscaping company in Piscataway, N.J., when something on the overpass caught his attention. As he got closer to Mile Marker 5, he noticed “funky-colored” lights on a pickup truck. He saw several guys and thought it was odd because it was March 26, the pandemic was in full swing, and the roads were empty. Not many people were out, especially at around 11 pm.
