"We don't know the extent of the injuries yet," Police Chief Mustafa Rabboh said following the crash shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 1, at the corner of Clinton and Front streets.

A detective went to the hospital to check on both, he said.

The female officer was headed to an activated fire alarm at a nursery school on Woodbine Street.

Two ambulances responded along with DPW workers and other officers.

The Bergen County Sheriff's Office is investigating because a municipal police vehicle was involved.
