Fair Lawn, NJ (May 12, 2026) – A multi-vehicle crash on May 10 sent a Jeep into the Jack Daniels showroom on Broadway in Fair Lawn, leaving one person hurt. Fair Lawn firefighters and EMS were dispatched to the intersection of Broadway and 30th Street.
A 26-year-old Wayne man was driving a 2026 Mercedes GLE eastbound on Broadway when he ran a red light at 30th Street. His vehicle struck a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by an 18-year-old Fair Lawn woman.
The force of the collision pushed her Jeep into a 2025 Mazda CX-90 and then into the building. The Jeep driver was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
The drivers of the Mercedes and the Mazda were not injured. The Mercedes driver received a summons for ignoring a traffic control device. A building inspector examined the structure and found it to be safe.
Five-Star Towing removed the Jeep from the scene. The other two vehicles were driven away by their owners. Authorities continue to review the circumstances of the collision.
Our thoughts remain with the young woman injured in this accident as she recovers.
Should I Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company After a Crash in New Jersey?
In most cases, it is best to avoid giving a recorded statement or accepting any offer from the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. After a crash in New Jersey, the at-fault driver’s insurer may reach out quickly — but their goal is to resolve the claim for as little as possible, not to ensure you receive what you may be entitled to. Speaking too soon can affect your options later.
New Jersey follows a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurance policy typically covers initial medical expenses and lost wages after a collision, regardless of who caused the accident.
Anything you say to the other driver’s insurance adjuster can be used to minimize your claim. Adjusters may ask questions that seem routine but are designed to establish that your injuries are less serious than they are.
A car accident lawyer can handle that communication on your behalf, help gather police reports and medical records, and explain what compensation may be available under New Jersey law. An attorney can also clarify how comparative negligence rules in New Jersey could affect a claim if fault is shared in any way.
