The father and children – 11 and 9 years old – were all taken to Hackensack University Medical Center following the crash on West Saddle River Road just south of Holly Drive at 7:44 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 24, USR Police Capt. Ed Kane said.
Their injuries were believed to be minor, he said.
Police found heroin in the four-door Chevrolet Cruze driven by former Piermont and Sparkill, NY resident Elisabeth Feddeck, 41, Kane said.
Feddeck is a former counselor for children with disabilities at New Jersey Children's Aid and Family Services and a former rehabilitation specialist with SKIP of New York, which helps provide at-home health care for developmentally disabled youngsters, according to her online bio.
Upper Saddle River police charged Feddeck with three counts of assault by auto and various drug offenses before sending her to the Bergen County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, Kane said.
She also received summonses for DWI, among other offenses, the captain said.
Members of the Upper Saddle River Volunteer Ambulance Corps took the victims to the hospital, he said.
