One person died and a Port Authority Police officer was seriously injured in a crash Tuesday afternoon in Elizabeth.
The two-vehicle accident happened shortly after noon on North Avenue near Ikea Drive in the Port Elizabeth section.
Officer Donald Scala had to be extricated from his police vehicle. He was taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was being treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries Tuesday, Port Authority Police spokesman Steve Coleman said.
Scala is assigned to the department’s K-9 unit. His dog was in the police vehicle at the time of the accident, and was sent to a veterinarian’s office for evaluation.
A woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name was not immediately released.
