Carlos L. Trejos Jr., 57 was headed north on Maple Avenue when the crash occurred at Harristown Road just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.
His passenger, a 29-year-old Union City woman, and the driver of the vehicle he struck, a 23-year-old Little Ferry woman, were both taken to the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood with injuries that Ackermann said weren’t life-threatening. Both vehicles were towed from the scene, he said.
Trejos, who wasn’t injured, was processed at police headquarters and released to a responsible adult under John’s Law, the chief said.
In addition to a DWI charge, he received traffic summonses for reckless driving, careless driving, unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, failure to observe a traffic control device, following too closely, and having unsafe tires.
