The Honda CR-V slammed into the pole alongside the BP station just south of the Lincoln Avenue bridge at Wagaraw Road around 1 a.m. April 10.
The passenger was extricated before members of the Fair Lawn Volunteer Ambulance Corps took him to the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood.
At least one other person, a woman, sustained what appeared to be minor injuries.
The SUV had to be towed.
