A serious head-on collision occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. Saturday evening on Saddle River Road near Hillside Avenue in Chestnut Ridge, involving a coach bus and a passenger vehicle.
Sources tell Monsey Scoop that the female driver was allegedly swerving prior to the crash and may have been heavily intoxicated. The vehicle reportedly crossed lanes and struck the coach bus head-on, leaving the driver pinned inside her car.
Monsey Scoop has obtained both phone video and CCTV footage of the moments leading up to and including the crash. The videos appear to show the vehicle swerving in and out of lanes before the impact.
The Monsey Fire Department extricated the driver from the wreckage. She was transported by Faist EMS and Rockland Paramedics to Westchester Medical Center in stable condition.
No other injuries were reported.
Hatzoloh EMS, Faist EMS, Chaverim of Rockland, Ramapo Police, and the Monsey Fire Department responded to the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
