Further investigation revealed a 2019 Audi, operated by a 66-year-old Fair Lawn man, struck a traffic safety bollard and pedestrian crossing sign after having a medical episode. His car then continued into a 2007 Saturn driven by a 56-year-old Butler woman, Metzler said.

After that, the Audi struck two cars parked on Fair Lawn Avenue while the Saturn was pushed into a third vehicle, a 2013 Toyota operated by a 40-year-old Haledon woman. Her car was pushed into a nearby parking lot, where it struck a parked vehicle, the sergeant said.

The 66-year-old Fair Lawn man was taken to Valley Hospital by Fair Lawn Volunteer Ambulance for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The Butler woman was also transported to Valley to be treated for a facial injury, according to the sergeant.

No charges have been filed at this time, Metzler said.
