UPDATE: The victim, a 32 year old female, died at the hospital overnight.

An adult pedestrian standing or walking in the right shoulder of Route 17 southbound in Paramus, was struck and critically injured by a hit and run driver late Monday afternoon, 10/19. The incident took place just south of the Route 4 overpass. The victim was rushed to Hackensack Medical Center’s main campus by a Paramus EMS ambulance. Route 17 southbound was completely closed near the accident scene for an extended period to facilitate a full accident investigation. Shortly after the horrific incident took place, an individual suspected of being the hit and run driver was taken into custody by Paramus PD within Garden State Plaza’s parking lot. The suspect’s vehicle, a white SUV towing a small U-Haul trailer, was impounded for further investigation. Paramus PD, Paramus EMS, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office all responded to the scene. Fair Lawn PD, River Edge PD, and the NJDOT Emergency Response Team all assisted with traffic control.

A Wednesday morning, 10/14, dump truck accident on Route 4 eastbound between Spring Valley Road and Forest Avenue in Paramus resulted in travel lane closures and major traffic jams in both directions of the highway. The dump truck came into physical contact with multiple utility poles, which caused live electrical wires to fall on the truck and temporarily trap its uninjured driver. Eastbound traffic was restricted to left lane travel only while police, fire, rescue, and utility personnel worked to restore order. A westbound crash under Forest Avenue, likely caused due to rubbernecking, resulted in the left and middle westbound lanes being closed near the scene until wreckage could be cleared. An ambulance was dispatched to the westbound incident; no information was available on scene as to the nature of injuries reported in that crash. Paramus PD, Paramus FD, Paramus OEM, NJDOT Emergency Response, NJ State Police, Bergen County EMS, and Bergen County Sheriff’s Office units all responded to the incident.

Saturday, October 3, 2026, marks the 50th anniversary of the line-of-duty death of Paramus Police Officer Michael P. McEllen, Shield #306.
On the early morning hours of October 3, 1976, Officer McEllen was responding to a burglar alarm when he was killed in a motor vehicle crash serving the residents of Paramus.
Officer McEllen was a husband and father who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our community. He left behind his wife, Jean, and two young children. Fifty years later, his legacy of service continues through those children, Dr. Michelle McEllen and retired Detective Lieutenant Craig McEllen, who have each gone on to distinguished lives dedicated to helping and serving others.
While five decades have passed since Officer McEllen’s final tour of duty, the passage of time does not diminish the sacrifice he made, nor the loss experienced by his family, friends, fellow officers, and the Paramus community. His name remains permanently woven into the history and traditions of the Paramus Police Department.
In conjunction with PBA Local 186, the Paramus Police Department will fly the National Flag at half-staff on October 3, 2026, in solemn remembrance of Officer McEllen and in recognition of the 50 years since his sacrifice.
As members of this Department, we have inherited a proud tradition built by those who served before us. We have a responsibility to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
I ask that each of you take a moment to remember Officer Michael P. McEllen, Shield #306, his family, and the legacy of service he left behind.

Fifty years later, we remember.
Fifty years later, we honor.
Fifty years later, we will never forget.
Please keep Officer McEllen, his family, and all of the families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty in your thoughts.

Respectfully,
Robert M. Guidetti
Chief of Police

The driver of a white colored, 4-door, Mercedes C300 and his/her adult passenger were captured by Paramus PD officers within minutes after the vehicle crashed on Winters Avenue, Paramus; this just after the Mercedes’ driver attempted to run over a Paramus PD police officer on Route 17 near the Garden State Plaza, early Friday afternoon, 09/18. Both suspects ran from the Mercedes after it jumped a curb, crossed over a sidewalk, and barrelled down an embankment before stopping just six (6) feet away from slamming into the Oradell Animal Hospital facility. Paramus PD units flooded the area and quickly apprehended both individuals. Police at the scene would not say whether the vehicle had been reported stolen, but were observed removing several shopping bags from the wrecked vehicle’s passenger compartment, which may have been indicative that the occupants were fleeing from a shoplifting incident. A flatbed tow truck winched the C300 up the embankment and away from the scene, the reported destination was Paramus PD’s headquarters. The was no word as to whether anyone was injured in the incident, nor whether any police or civilian vehicles were damaged.

Throwback looks. Modern muscle. Pure Bronco spirit.

The 2026 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition brings the legend full circle — channeling the bold, boxy attitude of the original 1966 Bronco that started it all.

Watch our 2026 Heritage Edition roll through the Bergen Mall the way Paramus looked in 1966… same streets, same energy, 60 years of Bronco DNA.

From the first generation that defined go-anywhere freedom to today’s Heritage Edition with its vintage inspired white roof, classic graphics, and modern capability, the tradition is alive and well right here in New Jersey.

This is more than a truck. It’s a local legend reborn.

See it. Drive it. Own a piece of Bronco history.
