There seems to be more accidents southbound route 17 th near Linwood avenue southbound.There is a bend under the overpass with cars exiting and entering route 17. Speeding is common.
Does anyone know do we send a bill to the state. Do we get compensated for police, fire, EMTs, materials, just a thought. Because I do not see any Bergen county police , state police at the scene.
The name of these accidents has been changed to a “McGreevy” if i recall.
What does that supposed to mean. Some of us don’t get it
