Ridgewood NJ, a normally quiet late Thursday morning in Ridgewood, NJ, was shattered by a dramatic single-vehicle rollover crash. The incident occurred at the busy intersection of Grove Street and South Pleasant Avenue on November 13, 2025, involving the driver of an Acura RDX.
The force of the crash caused the luxury SUV to flip completely, leaving the driver trapped inside the overturned vehicle.
The Rescue and Aftermath
Immediate and coordinated efforts by Ridgewood’s emergency services were crucial to the outcome:
- Victim Rescued: A quick-acting Ridgewood Police Patrol Division officer and a Ridgewood Fire/EMS firefighter successfully rescued the conscious and alert victim from the heavily damaged, flipped vehicle.
- Transported to Hospital: The driver of the Acura RDX was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment of injuries.
- Intersection Damage: The collision was significant enough to knock over a pedestrian traffic signal at the intersection. Employees from the Village of Ridgewood Signal Division were immediately dispatched to address the damage and restore the signal.
- Cleanup: A flatbed tow truck was required to right the heavily damaged SUV and remove it from the scene, clearing the roadway for traffic.
The quick response by the Ridgewood Police Department and the Ridgewood Professional Firefighters (FMBA Local 47) ensured the victim was safely extracted and transported, minimizing the potential for further tragedy.
Focus on Safety and Awareness
While the cause of the single-vehicle rollover is under investigation by the Ridgewood Police Department, this incident serves as a stark reminder for drivers to exercise extreme caution at intersections. The community wishes the victim a swift and full recovery.
