Four men were hurt, one critically, when an out-of-control car slammed into a stalled van as two men tried to help the van’s driver jump-start it.
Authorities are investigating why Reginald Nealy’s car, a 1991 Chrysler, careened into the other vehicles on Route 46 west, near Saddle Brook Mall, at about 5:50 p.m. Friday, Detective Sgt. Harry Reid said.
Nealy’s car crashed into the back of the disabled 1984 GMC van, pushing it 12 feet into the 1989 Hyundai being used to help restart it. The impact knocked down the van driver, Edward Nagle, 31, of 8 Central Ave., Stanhope, and ejected the Hyundai occupants: Kevin Kinsella, 37, of 340 S. Main St., Wharton, and Kent Erickson, 45, of 11 Sierra Court, Sayreville.
Nealy, 57, of 166 Van Buren St., Passaic, was in critical condition at Hackensack Medical Center with facial and internal injuries, a hospital spokeswoman said Saturday. Erickson was treated there and released, she said. Kinsella and Nagle were treated at Kennedy Memorial Hospitals and released, a spokeswoman said.
