ICE Chase Ends In Car Crash In Bergen County, Injuring 1: Police

TEANECK, NJ — One person was injured in a car crash on Sunday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents chased a suspect through Teaneck, forcing an uninvolved car into a pole, police said.

Teaneck police said that around 11:21 a.m. Sunday, they received several 911 calls reporting a crash at Queen Anne Road and Walraven Drive. One of the callers identified himself as an ICE agent.

Police responded and found two damaged vehicles and a
snapped utility pole with wires on top of the street and several cars. One person was trapped in a car because of the wires, police said.

An investigation determined that ICE agents were pursuing someone in a 2017 Toyota Tacoma on Walraven Drive.

The Toyota driver crashed into an occupied 2026 Nissan Rogue parked near a utility pole. The Nissan then smashed into the pole, which snapped in two.

The occupant of the Nissan had to remain in the car for an hour while PSE&G responded to safely remove the wires, police said.

The suspect in the Toyota complained of head pain at the scene and was treated by the Teaneck Fire Department and Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps, police said.

Nobody else was injured, said Police Chief Andrew McGurr.

Patch has asked police whether the Toyota driver was arrested and whether they were informed ICE was in town. Patch has also reached out to ICE for more details. This story will be updated when more information is available.
