RIDGEFIELD PARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- A New Jersey driver apparently lost control while backing out of a driveway and crashed into a neighbor's house, leaving the car perched on the front porch at a 45-degree angle.
It happened around 11:00 a.m. Friday on Gordon Street in Ridgefield Park, Bergen County.
Police said a telephone pole was struck as the car was backing out. They do not know if the driver suffered a medical emergency or simply hit the gas pedal.
Video from the scene shows the rear of the vehicle, a silver SUV, jutting into the air. The crash brought power lines down, cutting power in adjacent homes.
