Ridgewood NJ , While on routine motor patrol, Ridgewood Police Patrol Officer Zachary Knudsen spotted a heavily damaged passenger vehicle matching the description of one wanted in connection with a Tuesday afternoon, 02/20, hit and run crash in Ridgewood’s Central Business District that heavily damaged two (2) parked vehicles. Officer Knudsen issued at least one (1) summons to the damaged vehicle’s adult female driver and radioed for a tow truck to remove it from the traveled roadway. A second tow truck was dispatched to remove one (1) of the parked vehicles that was struck.
Leaving the scene of an accident without seeking out the owners of the unoccupied vehicles involved or leaving adequate identifying information is a crime. Don’t do it unless you want to be hauled into municipal court.
Damn….that’s some damage…
You should see the cars she hit in the town parking lot with 100’s of school kids in the area. I wonder if she would of stoped if she hit someone.That damage was done by backing out of a parking spot and hitting the cars across from her, so she was backing up pretty fast.
Why is the driver not identified?
Three police officers needed to talk to one person who is involved in a motor vehicle incident?
Are we overstaffed at the police department?
I’m not from this area, but your police force was right ontop of everything from responding to the accident ,to finding and catching the fleeing driver ,to taking care of all involved. Very impressed
2:12 hope when something happens to you that requires a police response you tell them to only send one officer.
Yeah 3 officers. I would agree with that. She obviously could have been insane to leave a scene like that!!! Better to be safe.
Ridgewood definitely has a great police officer. Great job!
I hope all of our police will be alert like them so people will be afraid to commit crimes and be more responsible in their actions.
