The officer was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center with "a minor complaint of pain," a responder told Daily Voice following the Aug. 29 rear-end collision on River Street near Bridge Street.

No one appeared seriously injured in the vehicle that was rear-ended by the patrol unit, witnesses said.

Witnesses said the Nissan Sentra driver suddenly slammed on her brakes at a green light, causing the crash.

River Street was temporarily closed at the intersection so the wreckage could be removed and the Bergen County Sheriff's Office could begin its investigation.
