Ridgewood NJ, An armored vehicle loaded with currency clipped two (2) utility poles before jumping a curb and crashing into a tree on Saturday afternoon, 11/03, in Ridgewood. The incident occurred in the 300 block of South Maple Avenue, Ridgewood, near Prospect Street. Ridgewood Police, Ridgewood Fire Department, and Ridgewood EMS rushed to aid the vehicle’s driver, who was transported by ambulance to The Valley Hospital with a non life threatening leg injury. Several armed security guards and uniformed police officers stood by as currency was transferred from the heavily damaged vehicle to another armored unit owned by the same company. A heavy duty wrecker removed the demolished vehicle from the scene. Traffic was detoured away from the crash site until the scene was cleared. Police at the scene did not comment as to whether any summonses were/would be issued in connection with the crash.
We now know that it’s not only teenage girls who text and drive.
The wording on the side of the truck speaks volumes.
Glad that injuries were not fatal.Leaf clean up crews were seen vacuuming the impacted neighborhood nearby to keep ridgewood litter free.
BAN ALL UTILITY POLES AND TREES!!!!

If it could save JUST ONE Armorded Car it would be worth it…
