Crash Sends Hackensack Officer To Hospital

A Hackensack police officer was hospitalized following a Tuesday morning crash.

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.

The sheriff's office handles reviews of accidents involving local police vehicles.

It was tough to say which vehicle got the worst of it.
