Ridgewood NJ , One person was injured and transported to The Valley Hospital following a 8:55 PM Saturday accident in which a Ford SUV traveling southbound on Route 17 in Ridgewood careened off the roadway and came to rest on top of a snowbank in front of 555 Route 17, South. The heavily damaged vehicle was freed from its perch by a flatbed tow truck, which removed it from the scene. The right lane of Route 17 was closed for approximately 60 minutes to facilitate accident investigation, vehicle removal, and debris clean up. Traffic moved freely through the area throughout the time. Ridgewood PD handled the accident investigation; Ridgewood EMS transported the victim by ambulance.

slow down.
No let have one of our groups look at why this happened and make recommendations. Maybe we need a crossing guard out there.
If Boyd gets into an accident, who will take photos?
