Witnesses told police the driver of a Toyota sedan pulled suddenly onto Hackensack Avenue from the post office and was slammed by a Toyota SUV around 5:45 p.m.

The SUV continued on, knocking down a lamp post and crashing into the apartment steps, Detective Joseph T. Rutigliano, Jr. told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Firefighters had to cut her from the car, he said.

Both she and the other female driver were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, one by Moonachie First Aid & Rescue and the other by Wood-Ridge EMS.

Neither had injuries that were considered life-threatening, Rutigliano said. No one else was in either car, he said.
