A quiet Sunday evening in Midland Park, NJ, was shattered by a dramatic single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Cottage Street and Franklin Avenue. An SUV veered off the road and collided head-on with a home, causing significant damage and sending one person to the hospital with a life-threatening injury.
Emergency Response and Scene Details
The incident occurred on September 14, 2025, prompting an immediate and extensive emergency response. Midland Park EMS was on the scene quickly, transporting the injured individual to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center. Due to the severity of the victim’s injuries, a paramedic team was called in to provide advanced patient care.
Emergency responders, including the Midland Park Police, Wyckoff Police, and the Midland Park Fire Department, worked to secure the scene. A portion of Franklin Avenue was shut down in both directions to allow for a safe and effective response. A flatbed tow truck was required to remove the heavily damaged vehicle from the scene.
Damage to Property and Ongoing Investigation
