Taken to Hackensack University Medical Center were two drivers -- one 32 out of Clifton, the other 57 out of North Arlington -- following the crash on the northbound highway in Hasbrouck Heights shortly after noon.

Borough firefighters extricated one of them (see photos).

The first vehicle, driven by a 62-year-old Rutherford resident, hit another, sending it into two more vehicles and a tractor-trailer just north of Franklin Avenue, authorities said.

The 24-year-old tractor-trailer driver from Central Bridge, NY, wasn’t injured, nor was a 43-year-old driver from New Milford, they said.

No summonses were issued, although police were still investigating. Bergen County sheriff’s officers assisted them.

Traffic backed up for miles. All of the vehicles were towed.
