UPDATE: The driver of a stolen van led State Police on a nearly 18-mile chase on eastbound Route 80 this morning that began in Woodland Park and ended in Ridgefield Park when he surrendered 10 minutes later.
Troopers who got the 11:40 a.m. call of the van stolen out of Denville spotted it near Exit 56 at 11:43 a.m. thanks to a GPS device, NJSP Sgt. Jeff Flynn told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
“They tried to stop it with headlights and sirens, but it continued on,” Flynn said.
He exited at Exit 67, where local police hemmed him in on 2nd Street in Ridgefield Park, responders said.
The driver was taken to the NJSP Totowa barracks for processing, Flynn said.
At least one other vehicle was struck by the van, he said.
