“New Jersey law requires drivers approaching stationary emergency vehicles, tow trucks, garbage trucks and other highway safety vehicles displaying red, blue and/or amber flashing lights to move over one lane or, if not safe to move over, then slow down below the posted speed limit,” the Glen Rock Police Department said.

Department of Transportation workers were present at the time. At least one could be seen thrown when the vehicles collided.

“In this case, neither the DOT workers nor the Glen Rock Police Officer suffered any serious injury,” police added.
