Truck Still Lodged in Clifton Building a Day After Crash

Police say removal must wait for structural stabilization.

Overview

  • A day after the crash, the rig remains embedded as engineers shore up the building and police say there is no timeline for removal.
  • The tractor-trailer struck a two-story limo business off Route 3 near Kensington Avenue early Monday, leaving the structure leaning.
  • Firefighters freed the driver after about an hour and took him to a hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening.
  • Crews also rescued a resident from the second floor, and PSE&G shut off power and gas before responders entered.
  • Officials reported bearing walls displaced and the roof collapsed onto the cab, and the eastbound Passaic Avenue exit ramp remains closed during stabilization work.
