The crash, involving a Chevy Astro Van and a KIA SUV, occurred around 9:50 a.m. at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Oak Street.
The Chevy driver and a child in the SUV were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
Both vehicles sustained damage extensive enough that they had to be removed by tow trucks.
Members of the Fair Lawn Rescue Squad were summoned to clean up a crash-related fluid spill.
Maple Avenue traffic in both directions was diverted while the scene was cleared.
Fair Lawn police are investigating.
