BLOOMINGDALE, New Jersey (WABC) -- Police in New Jersey are investigating a road rage incident that left a woman injured when a bottle was thrown at her car.

According to police, it started at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday in West Milford.

A 55-year-old woman driving a red Dodge wagon said that a white van, believed to be a Ram ProMaster, started following her.

She told police that the van was driving in a reckless manner and had pulled very close and attempted to pass her vehicle several times.

The white van fled the scene heading east on Main Street.
