Ridgewood NJ, A Glen Rock Police Department uniformed patrol officer administered Narcan to the adult male driver of a Toyota Corolla following a head on collision between the Toyota and a Village of Ridgewood sanitation truck in front of 522 Lincoln Avenue, Hawthorne late Friday morning, 04/15. The Toyota driver, who was headed northbound on Lincoln Avenue, reportedly overdosed on an unknown substance just prior to the crash. An adult female driver of a BMW sedan stopped at the scene to assist the victim prior to the arrival of police officers. The occupant(s) of the sanitation truck, which was headed southbound on Lincoln to dump a load in Paterson, were not injured in the crash. The Toyota was removed from the scene by a flatbed tow truck. Damage to the sanitation truck was minimal. The overdose victim, otherwise uninjured, was transported by ambulance to The Valley Hospital. Hawthorne PD is investigating the incident.
A little afternoon hit of Heroin.
I guess the driver wasn’t on his way to work.
Good thing it was a sanitation truck and not a child on a bicycle.
I am increasingly frightened about the possibility of encountering drivers who are under the influence of a substance or a cell phone…or sleep. It would just not be an acceptable reason to die or be hurt.
Yep, we dump our garbage there and then they give it right back to us..you know how many accidents there are on Lincoln ave with dopers coming back from Paterson?.
ed who u calling, john john.
Was the garbage truck on the wrong side of the road per chance…?
