All three are expected to live, although they sustained serious injuries, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the crash told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Five others were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, as well.

The 1993 Econoline support and rehabilitation van was returning from the Ridgefield Park Fourth of July parade when the pileup — involving a pickup truck and three other vehicles — occurred at the corner of Grand Street, two blocks west of the Little Ferry circle, around 1:20 p.m.

The highway was shut down for more than two hours, including the time necessary to investigate.

Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli told CLIFFVIEW PILOT late Monday night that his Fatal Accident Squad wasn’t called to the scene.
