Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Police Department officers used a hand held forcible entry tool to break a crashed Volvo SUV’s passenger side window in order aid a driver who collapsed after suffering an undisclosed medical condition. The incident occurred at approximately 6 PM on Thursday, 07/07, at the intersection of East Ridgewood Avenue and Heermance Place, Ridgewood. A passerby called 911 to report seeing a vehicle with no driver careen off of East Ridgewood Avenue, up a curb, over a sidewalk, and into a line of shrubbery.
First arriving Patrol Officer Salvatore D’Amico spotted the SUV and immediately observed a driver slumped behind the wheel of the locked vehicle. While D’Amico kept the adult male victim in plain view and tried to engage him in conversation, backup officers arrived and broke the passenger side window and unlocked all doors. Ridgewood FD and EMS crews attended to the victim along with a paramedic team from The Valley Hospital. The victim, a Ridgewood resident, was transported by ambulance to The Valley Hospital. The Volvo was removed by a flatbed tow truck.
