Driver of Flipped Jeep Sent to Hospital

The driver of a Jeep was sent to the hospital Friday night after her vehicle flipped on its side Friday night on North Maple Avenue, according to police.

Lt. Forest Lyons of the Ridgewood Police Department said a single female was taken to Valley Hospital at about 10 p.m. with undisclosed injuries after her newer-model Jeep flipped on N. Maple Ave. near the intersection of Brookmere Court.

"It does not appear to be life-threatening injuries," Lyons said. "It looks like the party went off road and lost control."

The fire department breached the car, standard procedure when a vehicle is on its side, Lyons said.

Lyons said the weather – wet roads – may have been a factor. 

The road was closed for approximately an hour until the vehicle was towed.
