The victim apparently suffered severe leg trauma when the minivan pinned her against a guardrail in the H Mart parking lot in Paramus on the northbound highway around 10 p.m. Sunday, they said.

The SUV then continued on and smashed into the guardrail itself. 

An ambulance took the victim to a nearby hospital.

Meanwhile, a police officer put the elderly motorist into the back of his patrol car.

"He was pretty old," a witness told Daily Voice.

Both vehicles had to be towed.

Further details were immediately scarce.
