The video, initially shared by Inside Clifton NJ, shows a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer flying down Getty Avenue and through the intersection at Crooks Avenue, appearing to blow a red light.
The Chevy — which can be heard approaching — hits a sedan, then a pickup truck, and then the other vehicles, causing a loud bang each time.
"Holy sh—," someone can be heard saying moments after the stunning wreck.
Authorities have not disclosed a possible cause of the crash.
Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes said only that the vehicle was driven by a 35-year-old Madison woman. Four other vehicles were involved and a Newton pedestrian was killed, Valdes said.
The pedestrian, whose name was not released, was rushed to Saint Joseph’s University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, prosecutors said. Officials have not yet determined what led to the crash, and the investigation remains active, authorities said.
The Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact their tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or tips@passaiccountynj.org.
