Paramus NJ, A bicyclist was struck and seriously injured by a hit & run driver at approximately 9:20 PM on Sunday, 08/03 in front of 67 Paramus Road, Paramus. The fleeing vehicle was described as a silver pick up truck, last seen on Paramus Road south heading towards Rochelle Park. Paramus PD, EMS, and a paramedic unit from The Valley Hospital responded to assist the victim. One lane of Paramus Road northbound and one lane of Paramus Road southbound remain closed near the accident scene while law enforcement officers conduct an investigation. The victim was female. She was riding with a male partner who was uninjured. Both cyclists appeared to have been riding what is commonly referred to as “folding” bikes. When police first arrived at the scene the victim was totally unresponsive. She was responsive and alert at the time she was loaded into the ambulance. Taken to HUMC. The male cyclist was observed loading his bike into the trunk of a police car and then being driven away from the scene. No lights were observed on either bike.

Crazy to ride your bike on Paramus Road at night…..
Crazy to ride your bike on that particular stretch of Paramus Road at any time1
It may be crazy but where are the comments on the asshole who ran the person down and ran.
No lights on the bikes. The driver should be arrested but what were the cyclists thinking?
I agree with #3. For heaven’s sake, direct your outrage toward the coward who left her on the road.
Just now I saw someone on a bicycle on Rt 17 south in Mahwah.
At nite he wouldn’t have a chance.
Driver avoids a DUI charge but will get hit with a slew of other more serious charges when found. Dumb ass.
When you are an undocumented landscaper, the potential consequences to being checked out by a police officer, makes stopping unwise. Doesn’t matter who was at fault.
There has to be cameras on the stop lights somewhere btwn Linwood and Route 4……no ?
yes paramus road
