Teaneck Emergency Responders Log Busy Thanksgiving
Woman hit by truck on Teaneck Road, man hurt in Route 4 crash
Teaneck first responders were kept busy Thanksgiving, including handling a slew of emergency medical calls and a rollover crash on Route 4, officials said.
Township firefighters, police and Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps crews rushed to Route 4 westbound, near Queen Anne Road, around 5 p.m. after a car rolled several times on the highway, authorities said. The 19-year-old driver was treated for abrasions from apparently tumbling out as the car rolled, but he was not critically hurt.
In another Thanksgiving day emergency, a 47-year-old woman was hit by a truck on Teaneck Road and Hillside Avenue, according to a TVAC spokesman. Additional details were not immediately available, but the woman was expected to recover.
