PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a woman who was driving the wrong way on a northern New Jersey highway collided head-on with two other vehicles.
Paramus police tell The Record (https://bit.ly/1hhsJcs) that 22-year-old Natalie Garcia of Garfield was charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving following Tuesday night’s crash. She’s also expected to face additional charges stemming from the crash, which occurred shortly before midnight on Route 4.
