The driver of a work van that may have been involved in the crash off the northbound highway at Linwood Avenue immediately drove the mom, dad and child to The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6.

All reportedly were doing fine.

Ridgewood police collected personal belongings for the family while beginning an investigation into how and why their Acura crashed.

All Points Towing removed the vehicle, which still had its temporary tags attached. Paramus police assisted with traffic control.
