Authorities are investigating the death of a man whose body was found along southbound I-287 between Route 80 and Route 10, state police officials said via their Twitter account this morning.
State police officials say a preliminary investigation suggests the death could have been the result of a hit-and-run.
Authorities had shut down two lanes of I-287 in the area of exit 39 in Hanover Township while they conducted an investigation, causing heavy delays for the morning commute.
