The woman was taken by ambulance to The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood with a head injury that was characterized as moderate following the crash, around 4:10 p.m., at Saddle River Road, Fair Lawn police said.

Woodcliff Lake Firefighter Ken Bertani, who witnessed the crash, said the four-door sedan was headed east on Route 208 when it crossed two lanes, hit the curb and rolled several times into a set of stairs at the Saddle River Road entrance to Route 4.

“She crawled out when I ran up,” Bertani said.

Fair Lawn police firefighters, EMS and Heavy Rescue crews all responded.

Traffic was diverted from the entrance ramp until the vehicle could be righted and towed.
