NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A multi-vehicle accident clogged Brooklyn-bound lanes on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge late Monday afternoon.

As Joe Biermann reported from Chopper 2, the upper level on the eastbound side of the bridge was shut down around 1:30 p.m. due to a multi-vehicle accident with a fuel spill.
