Authorities in Hudson County are trying to determine how the driver of a car plunged into a ditch in Kearny this afternoon.
According to preliminary reports, emergency responders were called to Wawa’s parking lot at around 4 p.m. to investigate reports of a crash with occupants reportedly trapped inside a vehicle.
When police and firefighters arrived, they found that a vehicle crashed through a wooden barrier and fell about 4ft into the ditch.
Police believe that the driver mistakenly shifted the car into drive instead of reverse then accelerated.
There were no serious injuries reported
