Hillside, NJ (November 7, 2026) – Fire crews were called to a crash on the northbound Garden State Parkway near Exit 142 in Hillside at approximately 3 a.m. on Friday, November 6.
The crash involved a vehicle that overturned, prompting firefighters to describe the scene as a mass casualty incident. The designation indicated that crews were preparing to handle multiple potential patients, but the number of people injured had not been confirmed in the available report.

People injured in a rollover crash in Hillside, New Jersey, may seek compensation if another driver's negligence contributed to the collision. Potential damages include medical expenses, lost income, future treatment costs, and pain and suffering. Available benefits depend on the injured person's role, insurance coverage, and injuries.
New Jersey's no-fault system generally requires people covered by applicable auto policies to seek Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits for eligible medical expenses, regardless of fault. However, claims for pain and suffering may depend on the policy's lawsuit threshold and the nature of the injuries. Passengers and people without applicable auto coverage may have different options.
Determining how the rollover occurred can help establish responsibility. A vehicle may overturn after a collision, loss of control, unsafe maneuver, or contact with another vehicle. Photographs, vehicle damage, witness accounts, camera footage, and crash reconstruction findings may help show what happened and whether another driver contributed.
The number of people injured may also affect the claims process. Each occupant may have separate medical needs, insurance coverage, and losses. If several people seek compensation under the same policy, available insurance limits may become a factor.
Injured people should keep medical records, bills, prescriptions, and follow-up recommendations, along with proof of missed work and other crash-related expenses. Before accepting a settlement, they should consider whether it covers current and anticipated losses.
Legal deadlines are another important consideration. New Jersey generally allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, although exceptions may apply. Claims involving public entities may have different notice requirements and deadlines.
