The 36-year-old resident of Santa Cruz, CA was taken to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center after his 2023 Ford F150 crashed on Sylvan Avenue just south of Sherwood Avenue shortly before midnight Monday, Aug. 14, Englewood Cliffs Police Detective Lt. Ronald F. Waldt said.
Wires obstructing the roadway forced police to temporarily shut down both sides of the road, the lieutenant said.
A fleet of PSE&G vehicles responded to assess the damage and repair or replace the pole, he said. Borough firefighters tended to a fuel spill.
ABC Towing removed the pickup.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation assisted with traffic control.
Motor vehicle charges are expected to follow as a borough police investigation continues, Waldt said.
