Ridgewood NJ Three (3) separate motor vehicle crashes slowed Route 17 northbound and southbound through Ridgewood to a crawl during a portion of Thursday evening’s rush hour.
Two (2) of the crashes occurred southbound near Franklin Turnpike; no injuries were reported in either and all vehicles were able to leave the scene on their own.
The northbound accident happened just south of West Saddle River Road. Although there were no injuries in that accident either, one (1) vehicle was towed from the scene.
Responding were Ridgewood PD, Bergen County PD, and HoHoKus PD

These rush hour accidents seem to occur with greater frequency turning quiet Ridgewood side streets into route 17 alternates.
