ONLY ON CVP: A Glen Rock police officer helped translate for a non-English-speaking driver of a minivan with a handicapped placard that barreled into a Hawthorne park and destroyed a Verizon underground equipment portal this morning.
The driver lost control of the Nissan Quest around 8:30 a.m. while headed north on Goffle Road approaching Rea Avenue.
He was alert and conscious when emergency personnel arrived and was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance. The vehicle was removed by flatbed tow truck.
Glen Rock Sgt. Christopher McInerney assisted with translating for Hawthorne police, who were trying to determine whether a medical emergency caused the crash.
