A police chase that began at Hackensack crossed several cities before ending Wednesday with a major accident of several cars on Fair Lawn, according to police.
Paramus police joined the highway chase as the suspects headed west, fleeing a Hackensack officer, according to Paramus’ deputy director Robert Guidetti.
Police accused Kenneth Barber, 32, of the Bronx and Ebony Rogers-Fields, 28, of Newark, of property of stolen goods. Barber, the driver, also accused of escaping.
Barber led police to the chase, preventing on Broadway at Fair Lawn, before fleeing and crashing into a Nissan Rogue at the intersection of Fair Lawn Avenue and Plaza Road, Guidetti said.
The Nissan’s driving force led to St. Joseph Medical Center in Paterson with non-fatal injuries.
Police begged citizens to stay away from the turn of destiny’s dominance on Fair Lawn Avenue and Plaza Road in a Facebook post at four p.m.
