Israel Arroyo, 23, was driving one of three vehicles involved in the westbound crash near northbound Route 17 exit in South Hackensack shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, NJSP Trooper Charles Marchan said.
One of the vehicles overturned in the crash, which left three victims with injuries that were considered serious but not life-threatening, responders said.
Four ambulances responded, they said.
Troopers found passengers Alexis J. Hernandez-Quinone, 21, of Englewood and a juvenile but not Arroyo, who was driving, Marchan said.
Quinone was charged with obstruction and released, the trooper said.
Arroyo, who was captured along with a third passenger, was charged with assault by auto and obstruction and was issued several motor vehicle summonses before being released, he said.
Arroyo has a criminal history. Last year, Garfield police charged him and another man with robbing a pair of $400 sneakers at knifepoint by a seller they met online.
