PHOTO: How a driver ended up with her SUV mounted on the stairs of a Ridgefield Park home Friday morning remains a mystery, a police official said.
No one was seriously hurt but the crash made for an odd scene on Gordon Street at about 10 a.m., when the vehicle could be seen wedged into the stairway, approaching a 90-degree angle. The accident brought down a telephone pole.
Lt. Joe Rella said authorities are unsure if a medical situation caused the crash or if it was just an accident and the driver hit the gas after striking the pole. The woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Rella said.
PSE&G responded to replace the pole.
