Their injuries didn't appear serious, witnesses said.
The chain-reaction collision occurred on the southbound highway at Virginia Drive shortly after 5 p.m., with the victims' Honda sedan spinning out and hitting a garage for a local garden apartment complex.
Borough police and firefighters and the Fair Lawn Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded.
Some of them were diverted when a rubbernecking crash occurred on the other side of the highway.
