PSE&G Crews Remain At Scene Of Westwood Transformer Explosion

Businesses in downtown Westwood were evacuated late Saturday afternoon after an underground tranformer explosion near Broadway.

PSE&G was still on the scene shortly before 9 p.m., and parts of Broadway remained closed.

One customer described lights flickering in a store around 4:30, then feeling a thud under her feet. The lights cut out with the thud, and police soon started ordering people out of the stores and setting up a large perimeter.
