Storm Takes a Toll: Fallen Branch Crushes Volvo SUV
Compounding the day’s events, the intense storm that lashed portions of Northern New Jersey over the past 2-3 days delivered a crushing blow to a vehicle parked on Morningside Road.
A large tree branch snapped and fell directly onto a Volvo SUV in a driveway, causing heavy damage. Fortunately, the vehicle’s owner reported that despite the significant impact, they do not believe the SUV is a total loss.
Ridgewood Police Department Patrol Division Officer Michael Karcher was dispatched to the scene to file an official property damage report, a necessary step for the owner to proceed with insurance claims. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the widespread danger that downed trees and large debris pose during severe weather events.
