Early Morning Collision on North Maple Avenue

At approximately 7:00 AM on March 5, 2026, Ridgewood emergency services responded to reports of a single-vehicle accident in a neighborhood strip mall on North Maple Avenue.

A black Honda Pilot reportedly jumped the curb before striking a prominent support beam directly in front of a local pizza parlor. The impact caused significant front-end damage to the SUV, requiring a tow truck to remove the vehicle from the scene.

Driver Transported to The Valley Hospital

The driver of the Honda Pilot sustained a non-life-threatening head injury during the collision. Ridgewood FD/EMS provided immediate on-scene care before transporting the victim to The Valley Hospital for further evaluation.

Building Safety and Structural Assessment

While the crash looked dramatic, early reports suggest the damage to the pizza parlor was primarily cosmetic. However, out of an abundance of caution, a Village of Ridgewood building inspector was called to the scene to ensure the structural integrity of the strip mall was not compromised by the hit to the support beam.

David Strawhorn, “Dave here, owner of La Bella Pizza. No one was seriously hurt, could have been a lot worse, a lot worse… First responders here in seconds, great job clearing the site. My regards to the woman driving the vehicle, speedy recovery.”

Ridgewood Police remained on-site to coordinate traffic and investigate the cause of the jump-start collision. No other injuries were reported.
