The father and children – 11 and 9 years old – were all taken to Hackensack University Medical Center following the crash on West Saddle River Road just south of Holly Drive at 7:44 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 24, USR Police Capt. Ed Kane said.

Their injuries were believed to be minor, he said.

Former Rockland resident Elisabeth Feddeck, 41, of Passaic, who was driving the four-door Chevrolet Cruze, was found carrying heroin, Kane said.

She was charged with three counts of assault by auto and various drug offenses before being taken to the Bergen County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, he said.

She also received summonses for DWI, among other offenses, the captain said.

Members of the Upper Saddle River Volunteer Ambulance Corps took the victims to the hospital, Kane said.
