The Metro Ambulance out of Hackensack was headed east on Washington Avenue when it collided with the westbound Nissan Frontier at Meisten Street near Seasons restaurant and catering hall shortly after 10:30 a.m. Monday, township police Lt. Roy Scherer said.

The patient was conscious and alert when she was taken to Pascack Valley Medical Center in Westwood, while the 46-year-old ambulette driver from Millville was taken to the Hackensack University Medical Center main campus.

The pickup driver from Park Ridge refused medical attention, Scherer said.

Westwood EMS and another Metro ambulance responded.
