Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said a Bayonne man has been arrested and charged with causing serious bodily injury while driving with a suspended license for his involvement in a crash last week at the intersection of Route 440 and Route 185 in Jersey City.
According to Prosecutor Suarez, on Friday June 12, at approximately 8 a.m., Mr. Ramon Quinones, 54, turned himself in to detectives with the Hudson County Regional Collision Investigation Unit and was charged with Causing Serious Bodily Injury While Driving with a Suspended License in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:40-22b, a crime of the fourth degree.
Police said on Thursday, June 4, at approximately 6:30 a.m., Quinones was involved in a serious motor vehicle crash involving a second car on Route 440 South in Jersey City at the intersection with Route 185 South in which the other driver, a 34-year-old Bayonne man, sustained serious injuries.
According to the investigation, the victim was traveling southbound on Route 440 when his vehicle, a 2012 Honda Accord, was struck by Quinones who was traveling southbound on Route 185 operating a 1992 Toyota Celica.
Both drivers were transported to the Jersey City Medical Center, but Quinones was released shortly after having sustained only a minor injury.
Prosecutor Suarez credited the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Regional Collision Investigation Unit for the investigation and arrest.
