The 69-year-old Hackensack driver was taken in stable condition with a head injury to Hackensack University Medical Center after crashing into the pole in the parking lot of Matera’s Garden and Nursery Center shortly after 2:30 p.m., Ridgefield Police Chief Thomas Gallagher said.
Her Nissan Murano was totaled.
The crash just south of Marion Place caused major delays in both directions on the ordinarily busy thoroughfare.
The pole hung precariously over the northbound lanes of Broad Avenue (Route 1/9), forcing Ridgefield police to divide both southbound lanes to divert traffic around it.
PSE&G responded for repairs.
