Police believe that an emergency medical issue was responsible for incapacitating the driver of a silver four-door Volkswagen, who lost control of her vehicle and careened through three properties along Grove Street before coming to rest at a chain-link fence.
Authorities responded to reports that a vehicle had struck a house along Grove Street at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Police determined that the driver sustained a black-out while traveling westbound on Grove Street (approaching its intersection with Berkshire Road) and veered off across the opposite lane of traffic, according to Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward.
