Fair Lawn NJ, A quiet Sunday afternoon in Fair Lawn turned into a chaotic scene on May 10, when a multi-vehicle wreck sent an SUV hurtling toward a local car dealership. The intersection of Broadway and 30th Street became a landscape of twisted metal and shattered glass after a three-SUV collision resulted in a Jeep Grand Cherokee jumping the curb and crashing directly into the KIA dealership showroom.
The Crash: From Roadway to Showroom
The incident occurred during the afternoon hours of Sunday, May 10, 2026. According to reports from the scene, three SUVs were involved in a significant collision at the busy Broadway intersection.
While the exact cause of the initial impact remains under investigation by the Fair Lawn Police Department, the force of the crash was enough to send a Jeep Grand Cherokee careening off its path. The vehicle traveled across the sidewalk and slammed into the front of the nearby KIA dealership, coming to a rest inside the building’s glass-fronted showroom.
Injuries and Emergency Response
Despite the dramatic nature of the crash, authorities report that injuries were remarkably minimal:
-
One person sustained a non-life-threatening hand injury and was treated by Fair Lawn EMS.
-
No other serious injuries were reported among the drivers of the other two SUVs or individuals inside the dealership.
The response was a coordinated effort by Fair Lawn’s first responders, including:
-
Fair Lawn Police Department
-
Fair Lawn EMS
-
Fair Lawn Fire Department Company #3
-
Fair Lawn Rescue Squad
The Cleanup: Extrication and Inspections
A heavy-duty flatbed tow truck was required to carefully extricate the Jeep from the dealership’s facade. While the Jeep suffered major damage and had to be hauled away, the other two SUVs involved in the collision remained operational and were driven from the scene by their owners.
Building Safety Concerns
The structural integrity of the KIA dealership is currently under review. Following the impact:
-
The dealership owner was forced to contact a “board up” provider to secure the shattered showroom.
-
A Borough of Fair Lawn building inspector was called to the scene to determine if the building suffered any long-term structural damage.
What Caused the Broadway Collision?
As of Sunday evening, Fair Lawn police officers on the scene have not provided a definitive cause for the crash. The intersection of Broadway and 30th Street is a frequent corridor for Bergen County traffic, and investigators are likely reviewing traffic camera footage and witness statements to determine if a signal violation or distracted driving played a role.
