Ridgewood PD Vehicle Involved in MVA

2 sent to hospital after crash involving police car

An accident involving a police vehicle sent two people to the hospital with minor injuries this morning, officials said.

A police SUV going west on Linwood Avenue just before Van Dien Avenue apparently rear-ended a Toyota Matrix at about 7:30 a.m.. Two people in the Matrix were taken to The Valley Hospital after they complained of pain, police said.

The police officer, Lieutenant William Amoruso, was not hurt.

The police vehicle had front-end damage but the Matrix did not seem to be damaged, police said.
