On Monday night just around 11 pm Paramus Ambulance Corp was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with injuries on Route 17 South Bound in front of Hooters. A subsequent broadcast stated it was an overturned car in the parking lot.
When Police units arrived on scene they found something you would think only happens in the movies. One car was on its side in the slow lane of traffic, and another vehicle was upside down on top of two cars in the parking lot. Paramus Fire Department Engine 3 was called to the scene along with Paramus Rescue for stabilization of the vehicle.
Paramus Rescue Chief Chris Rutishauser arrived on scene and assumed operations, with FD Assistant Chief Tony Capone designated as Incident Command.
The patients had been removed prior to arrival of Paramus Rescue, however the members stabilized the car on top of a car with Rescue Jacks to check the inside of the vehicle for any additional injured people.
All patients were transported to Hackensack University Medical Center with Paramedics on board by Paramus Ambulance Corp.
Chief Capone released all units at approximately 12:30 am after the authorized tow company had removed all.
