Firefighters extricated the male driver, who witnesses said appeared to be OK, following the crash at the Willows at Wesmont Station -- near the athletic complex and baseball field off Veterans Drive -- around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

He was taken by ambulance to Hackensack University Medical Center.

Nutchies Service removed and towed the Acura MDX, which had knocked out a huge hole between the front door and first-floor window.

A building inspector was called to determine the integrity of the building. Meanwhile, Hackensack Rescue 2 helped shore it up.

Wood-Ridge police were investigating the cause of the crash.
