Overturned Tractor Trailer Snarls Traffic on Route 287

Two lanes blocked along 287 southbound near exit 41.

Emergency responders spent two hours late Wednesday afternoon at the scene of an overturned tractor trailer in the area of exit 41 off Interstate 287 in Parsippany. New Jersey State Police were at the site of the accident, as was Parsippany-Troy Hills District 6 Fire Association. Two lanes became blocked in the 4 p.m. hour along 287 south as authorities dealt with the mishap and resulting diesel fuel spill. This created a massive backup that extended through the evening rush. The scene finally was cleared just after 6 p.m. Police were not available to offer further details.

Whole Foods Plan Still Raises Concerns in Parsippany

Large, skeptical crowd—most in opposition—came to Parsippany High to address economic development plan that would bring market to Waterview Plaza.

A revised Waterview Plaza development plan was presented before a loudly skeptical audience at Monday night's Parsippany Planning Board meeting. About 200 residents turned out for the gathering, which was held at Parsippany High School. The last time the board attempted to continue hearings on the proposal at Town Hall on Dec. 17, a fire official shut down the meeting because the crowd the discussion attracted exceeded fire standards. The hearing was rescheduled and relocated.  The large numbers attest to strong public reaction against a plan to put a new Whole Foods Market, another unnamed retailer and a 72-unit upscale townhouse community on 26 now-undeveloped acres of Waterview Plaza zoned for office space. That was in evidence Monday …

Ex-Scout Leader Accused of Sexually Abusing Teens

Morris Plains resident was also charged in January with allegedly exposing a child to porn in 2011.

A Morris Plains man and former Parsippany Boy Scout leader accused in January of showing child pornography to a boy was arrested again Thursday on charges he molested two teenage boys in the 1990s, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said. Stephen Corcoran, 45, is accused of one count of aggravated sexual assault, multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stem from accusations Corcoran molested a 13-to-16-year-old boy between 1997 and 1998, and another 16-to-18-year-old boy in 1999. Acting Morris County Prosecutor Frederic Knapp, Parsippany-Troy­ Hills Township Police Chief Anthony DeZenzo and Morris Plains Police Chief Scott Thompson announced the arrest Friday.

Realogy's Move to Madison Nearly Didn't Happen

Christie, Guadagno and other officials celebrate groundbreaking of real estate giant's new headquarters.

Gov. Chris Christie, Lt. Gov Kim Guadagno and Madison Mayor Robert Conley stood with silver shovels over a pile of dirt Wednesday morning to mark the groundbreaking of Realogy's site in Madison. The international real estate firm is relocating its headquarters from Parsippany to the new location at 175 Park Ave. "Think about where we were two years ago," the governor said before a crowd of state and local officials and members of the business community. "The responsiveness or lack thereof of state government was so bad, that a worldwide company like Realogy, which we were fortunate to have headquartered in New Jersey, was literally ready to walk out the door without any type of reaction from the governor's office." Two years ago, the …

Survivor: Without Fire Plan, 'I Would Have Lost My Animals'

The owner of the Lake Drive home that burned Monday says the damage was worse than expected.

Andrea Antonelli-Rella is still reeling a bit after her home at 13 Lake Drive was hit Monday night by what preliminary fire reports show was a chimney fire. At the same time, the veterinarian says she feels fortunate because she and her husband were not hurt, and neither were her pets. And she is convinced that all are well because the Rellas followed an emergency plan. "My husband is a police officer in Maplewood, so he is the man with the plan," she said. "He says to always have an idea [of what to do] when your house catches fire." Apparently, Nick Rella had a plan and it worked. His wife said they were able to get themselves plus a combination of parrots and macaws totalliing six birds and three German shepherds out of the burning …
