Marialyse Debel, 62, was approaching Maple Avenue on Ackerman Avenue when her 2018 Jeep plowed into the first vehicle shortly after 4 p.m. on March 17, Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.

“The impact caused a chain reaction collision involving two additional vehicles that were also stopped for the red light,” Ackermann said.

Three of the vehicles had to be towed, the chief said, adding that Ackerman Avenue remained closed for nearly an hour.

Debel was charged at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood with DWI and reckless driving, he said.
