Two Cars Collide on Fifth And Washington

Two cars crashed into each other on the corner of Fifth and Washington Streets around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.

One car—on Washington Street—ran a red light, according to an eye witness. A car coming from Fifth Street drove into the car, the eye witness added. There was a child in the back seat of that car. Nobody appeared to be seriously injured. An ambulance from the Hoboken Volunteers Ambulance Corps was on scene.

According to an eye witness the woman who ran the red light was not contesting it. "I didn't realize it was a red light," she told police on Thursday afternoon, as they took down her account.

Police arrived to manage traffic. A truck from Mile Square towing arrived to tow the car.
