No idea what happened tho.
Yep.
Uneducated guess: previous landing aircraft didn't clear the runway in a timely manner.
EWR lands on the outside runway and departs on the inside runway in normal operations so it seems unlikely that a plane accidentally wandered onto the landing runway.
Again, uneducated guess.
