A crash between a car and a garbage truck on Route 23 north in Pequannock Township left one man dead Monday morning.

All lanes on Route 23 have reopened after being closed for several hours on Monday morning.

There is no word yet on what caused the crash, and the identities of both drivers remain unknown.
