As I came home from the supermarket around 3pm today, I noticed lots of cars - even a bus - on Ward St. State St was closed between Ward and Passaic and there were a bunch of emergency vehicles in the vicinity of the "E" municipal parking lot exit on State.
One onlooker told me that a woman in a red Kia smacked into a telephone pole close to Passaic St and somehow wound up in an apartment parking lot about 50' BEHIND her pole position. That lot abuts the "E" lot, where she hit a nice-looking white Volvo. She also knocked down a couple of signs.
Her vehicle wound up in BOTH parking lots and the Volvo was in the "E" lot. I think she was injured. In any event, she wasn't there when I arrived, so I guess an ambulance had already come for her and left.
This is all hearsay - maybe the paper will say something different tomorrow. Nobody on the scene could figure out how this happened.
Picture 1 - the Kia
Picture 2 - the Kia in 2 different parking lots and the Volvo in the "E" lot
Picture 3 - looks like the meter got hit too
Picture 4 - "E" lot signs under the Kia and over the apartment parking lot
Picture 5 - however this happened, "One Way" did not apply
Picture 6 - the tow truck arrives
Picture 7 - I'm not sure which pole was hit - it was either the one that appears to be coming out of the Kia's roof or another one closer to Passaic St (and not visible here)
Picture 8 - the Volvo was parked in the "E" lot and has some Kia lipstick on it
