Driver Hospitalized After Rollover on Kansas St in Hackensack, NJ

Hackensack, NJ (July 28, 2026) – On Sunday, July 26, three vehicles were involved in a collision that caused one of the vehicles to roll over on Kansas Street near Hudson Street in Hackensack. One driver was hospitalized. 

A Toyota Corolla, a Volkswagen Atlas and a BMW were involved in a wreck shortly before 6 a.m.

The driver of a BMW was taken for medical care, though the extent of injuries wasn't immediately known. Two other vehicles were damaged as well.

Further details about the rollover have not been made public. Hackensack Police are still working to determine what led to the crash. 

We hope the driver recovers quickly and fully.

How Fault Is Determined After a Multi-Vehicle Rollover in Hackensack, NJ

New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning a driver can still recover damages as long as they're found less than 51% at fault, though any award gets reduced by their share of responsibility. 

Untangling fault in a crash typically depends on physical evidence: skid marks, vehicle positioning, and damage patterns can all help reconstruct what happened in the moments before the vehicles came to rest. 

Witness accounts can add helpful context but often need to be weighed against the physical record left at the site. The more vehicles involved, the more potential explanations there are for how the rollover occurred, which can make early evidence-gathering especially important.

New Jersey also gives injured parties two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that can arrive faster than people expect once medical treatment and insurance negotiations are underway. 

Because comparative fault determinations can shift as more evidence comes in, a car accident lawyer usually plays a role in making sure police reports, witness statements, and vehicle data are preserved before they become harder to obtain. This kind of documentation can matter a great deal when multiple drivers and insurers are each pointing to different causes.
