Hackensack, NJ (July 1, 2026) – Two teenagers were hospitalized on Monday evening after an e-bike struck an SUV at the intersection of Passaic Street and River Street in Hackensack. The busy intersection was crowded with evening rush-hour traffic when the collision occurred.

The e-bike was carrying two teens when it collided with a Nissan Rogue driven by a 22-year-old man from Union City. Both teenagers were taken to a nearby hospital with significant injuries.

Police said no summonses had been issued as of the initial report. The identities and ages of the teenagers were not publicly released.

Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision as they work to determine exactly what happened.

We send our best wishes to the injured teens and hope they make a full recovery.

What New Jersey’s Updated E-Bike Rules Mean for Riders

New Jersey’s updated e-bike regulations are designed to improve safety for riders and everyone sharing the road. Riders under the age of 15 will be prohibited from operating e-bikes. The law also requires riders to have a valid license, register their e-bike where applicable, and obey the same traffic rules as other vehicles on public roads.

These requirements are intended to encourage safer riding habits, particularly in busy intersections and high-traffic corridors. Following traffic signals, yielding when required, remaining alert to surrounding vehicles, and wearing properly fitted safety gear can help reduce the likelihood of serious injuries. As e-bike use continues to grow, understanding and following these regulations can contribute to safer travel for riders, drivers, and pedestrians alike.
