Two Pedestrians Struck by Car Receive Police Warnings

Two pedestrians walked away with only minor injuries after being hit by a car at the intersection of West Main Street and Erie Plaza in Ramsey, police announced Friday afternoon.

According to Ramsey Police Chief Bryan Gurney, a 23-year-old man from Upper Saddle River and a 22-year-old woman from Mahwah were walking in the center of the roadway on the eastbound side of West Main Street between Bagel Boys and Brady’s at the Station at about 11:22 p.m. Wednesday when they were hit.

A 46-year-old Ramsey man driving a red Honda hit the two pedestrians as they were crossing the westbound lane, Gurney said.

After being treated initially at the scene by paramedics, the woman refused further medical treatment and the man was transported to Valley Hospital for treatment for minor injuries, Gurney said.

The pedestrians were issued warnings for failing to cross in a designated crosswalk, police said. The driver was not issued any citations, Gurney said.

Ramsey police, ambulance, and Valley Hospital Paramedics responded to the scene.

Police have not released the names of the pedestrians or the driver.
