WYCKOFF, NJ – Residents in a quiet Wyckoff neighborhood received a startling wake-up call this afternoon when a vehicle veered off the road and collided with a residential home.

The Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD) was dispatched immediately to the scene of the accident. Upon arrival, first responders found a vehicle had jumped the roadway, traveling across the property before striking the side of the structure.

Emergency Response and Safety Inspection

In a testament to the safety features of modern vehicles and perhaps a bit of luck, the department confirmed the following:

• No Injuries: Both the driver and the occupants of the home escaped the incident unharmed.

• No Entrapment: The driver was able to exit the vehicle without the need for heavy rescue extraction tools.

Wyckoff fire crews performed a rigorous safety inspection of the home to ensure the impact had not compromised the building’s structural integrity or severed any utility lines, such as gas or electric. Firefighters remained on-site to secure the area until the duty tow truck arrived to safely remove the vehicle from the residence.

A Reminder for Local Drivers

While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, local authorities remind drivers to remain vigilant, especially on residential curves. The Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department continues to serve as the backbone of township safety, standing ready 24/7 for incidents ranging from structure fires to specialized rescues.
