School Lockdown, Foot Chase, Woman Ejected From Car In Clark

CLARK, NJ — Three people were arrested and an all-girls Catholic high school in Clark was placed on lockdown following a crash that ejected one woman in Clark late Wednesday morning.

A red Honda Odyssey coming off the Garden State Parkway northbound exit caused a major accident at the traffic light at the bottom of the ramp, Clark Police Chief Pedro Matos said.

The Honda then rolled over several times and a woman inside was ejected and suffered a leg injury, Matos said.

Two men that were inside the Honda fled the scene on foot towards Mother Seton High school. The high school was immediately placed on lock down, Matos said.

Clark Police Officers were able to capture both men. All three people in the Honda were taken to University Hospital in Newark.

The two men and the woman who was ejected were also arrested and charged. Further information on the charges and identities have not been released yet.

The female driver of the other car suffered minor injuries. She was treated at the scene and released.
