Ridgewood NJ, The adult male driver of a Ford Escape SUV and his female passenger escaped injury during a crash in which their vehicle careened off of Route 17 southbound in Ridgewood and came to rest in a clump of bushes. The incident occurred at approximately 4 PM on Wednesday, 05/18, just south of the NJDOT Park & Ride Facility.
The driver was reportedly reacting to a delayed command from his GPS system when the SUV crashed. The vehicle was able to be driven away on its own power after flatbed tow truck winched it from the bushes. There were minor rubbernecking delays on Route 17 southbound near the accident scene until the vehicle was removed
