Police in Clifton are investigating a car crash that left several people seriously injured overnight after the vehicle burst into flames.
The crash happened at around 3:30 a.m. in the area of Kuller Road and Wiedemann Avenue when a vehicle veered off the road and crashed into a pole causing the vehicle to catch fire.
Firefighters rushed to the scene, where they immediately pulled four occupants from the vehicle before extinguishing the fire.
It is not clear if speed was a factor in the crash but officials say that vehicles usually use that stretch of the street to drag race.
According to police, one of the injured victims was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital Medical Center in Livingston with severe burns while the other three victims were taken to St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Paterson in unknown condition.
