It was the only reported injury in the crash, which occurred when the 56-year-old Clifton man lost control of his Toyota Camry while changing lanes about a half-mile north of A&S Drive around 3:40 p.m., Police Sgt. Michael Guglielmo told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

The Camry struck a mini school bus driven by a 70-year-old Hackensack man that, in turn, hit a Jeep Cherokee driven by a 37-year-old Airmont, N.Y. woman, the sergeant said.

The Clifton man “got out of his vehicle without assistance” before being treated and transported, he said.
