State Police Seeking Public’s Assistance with Serious Hit-and-Run Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation

Earlier today, September 20, at approximately 4:34 a.m., a Saddle Brook Twp. police officer was on a traffic stop of a grey Nissan Maxima on Interstate 80 eastbound, milepost 62.4, in the deceleration lane of I-80 eastbound. While outside the vehicle, an unknown vehicle traveling east struck the left side of the Maxima and the Saddle Brook Twp. police officer. The vehicle failed to remain at the scene. As a result of the crash, the officer sustained serious injuries. The three occupants of the Nissan sustained no injuries.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about events before, during, or after the incident is asked to contact Troop “B” Totowa Station at 973-785-9412.

Anonymous tips are welcome.

MOVE OVER. SLOW DOWN. When you see emergency responders, law enforcement, tow truck operators, highway workers, or a disabled vehicle stopped on the side of the road with flashing lights, New Jersey’s Move Over Law requires you to safely move over one lane when possible. If you cannot safely move over, slow down below the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop.

⚠️⚠️ Potential Scam Alert ⚠️⚠️

We have received several calls from residents reporting that the Bergen County Sheriff's Office has contacted them telephonically and telling them that they have missed Grand Jury and are now being subpoenaed.

We have contacted the Sheriff's Office who confirmed that no such phone calls have been made or will ever be made. Furthermore, their Office will never contact anybody by phone. If you believe you have legitimate business with the Sheriff's Office, please contact them directly to confirm.

This is a stark reminder to be vigilant and properly screen your telephone calls. The East Rutherford Police Department, East Rutherford PBA or the Municipal Court will never call to solicit personal information, financial information or demand any payments.

Our Agency remains dedicated to protecting our residents and implore you to contact Police Headquarters if you believe you have been scammed and provided personal information to the wrong source. While we try to do everything possible to pass along any recent trends to better educate the public, we ask our residents to also educate themselves on the potential scams. Scammers have been known to target our seniors and older residents through telephone, email and text messages.

🚨 Remember, no Police Department will ever ask for money in the form of gift cards or crypto currency!
