YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST: Ridgewood firefighters used the “Jaws of Life” to free the female driver of an Acura TL after she was pinned during a late-night crash in Ridgewood.
She was taken by ambulance to Hackensack University Medical Center with injuries that police said weren’t life-threatening following the collision at the intersection of Linwood and Walthery avenues.
The driver of the other car, a black Audi, declined medical aid, as did two occupants. The Audi sustained heavy front-end damage.
Both vehicles were removed by flatbed tow truck.
Responding along with Ridgewood firefighters were village police and EMS, the Bergen County Police Department and a paramedic unit from The Valley Hospital.
Police confirmed that they issued four summonses, but they didn’t elaborate.
