A Toyota traveling north in the outer lanes near Exit 8 (Route 33) and the overpass for Etra Perrineville Road (Route 571) was struck early Thursday afternoon.
Toyota is recalling about 280,000 pickup trucks and SUVs in the U.S. to fix a transmission problem that can let the vehicles creep forward while in neutral.
At least a half dozen marked and unmarked State Police vehicles were in pursuit of a Penske white box truck in the inner lanes of the Turnpike near Exit 13A at a high speed.
