While authorities initially reported that a pedestrian was killed, the victim — a 52-year-old man from Newton (Sussex County) — was later found to be the driver of a Honda Civic, one of the four vehicles struck by a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer, driven by a 35-year-old Madison woman, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Clifton Police Chief Thomas Rinaldi said.
Video shows the Trailblazer flying down Getty Avenue before hitting the four vehicles at Crooks just before 11:40 a.m.
The Honda driver 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.
