The Narcotic Task Force investigators tried stopping the white Dodge Durango on the Turnpike in Carlstadt shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday, but the driver hit the gas and apparently headed for the George Washington Bridge.

The SUV then crashed on a service road outside the rest stop in Ridgefield.

The driver, 27-year-old Carvell G. Matthews, didn’t have a driver’s license, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Neither he nor his passenger, Taylor L. Bryce, 30, had any outstanding warrants.

Matthews had a small amount pot and Bryce some Ecstasy, for which both were charged and must appear in court, Musella said.

Matthews also was charged with eluding, the prosecutor said.

A second passenger was released without charges.

No serious injuries were reported.
