Robert Stevens, 63, was driving a 2010 BMW X5 that witnesses said veered into oncoming traffic on Paramus Road near Alpine Drive and slammed into a 2019 Honda CRV driven by Theresa Plummer, 44, of Bloomfield shortly after 5 p.m. Friday.
Off-duty Bergen Prosecutor’s Detective Douglas Rager and other good Samaritans rescued Stevens, his 58-year-old brother, Michael, and Plummer before both vehicles exploded in flames.
Paramus firefighters quickly doused the blaze.
Plummer “was transported to Hackensack University Medical Center with serious bodily injuries and remains hospitalized in stable condition,” Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said Monday.
Michael Stevens was released, he said.

Stevens remains free pending a June 25 first appearance scheduled in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
