Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood PD, FD, and EMS units responded the scene of a single vehicle MVA in front of 489 Grove Street, Ridgewood on Thursday evening, 10/05. The adult male driver of a 4-door Chevrolet Impala crashed head on into a utility pole. He was uninjured, but his car was totaled. The wreck was removed from the scene by a flatbed tow truck. PSE&G responded to check the condition of the damaged utility pole. No word as to how many, if any, summonses were issued to the driver.
That’ll buff right out.
People drive like idiots on Grove Street.
RPD likes to station an unmanned cruiser right across from the Berkshire Road entrance. This is hardly a deterrent.
The unmanned cruiser is useless, time to give out tickets just like Glen Rock does on prospect st.
Guess that means the department is low on staff, Huh,they’re busy walking the beet in the c-b-d
Can we remove all the utility poles? We need to because we keep seeing stories of these damn things getting in front of drivers.
It is good to be reminded that we are not safe on the sidewalks. It you are walking, or pushing a stroller, or walking your dog….don’t be distracted. There are so many drivers who are texting, and if you don’t pay attention one of them might drift onto the sidewalk and hit you. It is really alarming
I thought the biggest threat to drivers was pedestrians sprinting out into traffic. Now we are getting inundated with these cases of inconsiderate utility poles.
Close Grove Street!!!
Make it a Pedestrian Plaza
If we can save JUST ONE adult male driver it will all be WORTH IT!
