Witness: Driver takes off on foot after crashing car on Route 5 in Edgewater, N.J.

Car found hanging over Route 5 in N.J. 00:29

EDGEWATER, N.J. -- Route 5 was shut down Thursday morning after a car was found hanging over the roadway.

A witness said the driver went over the curb and through a fence on Valley Place in Edgewater before taking off on foot.

"I told him I was calling the police. He said he already did, which I don't believe happened. So he left, and then he came back and took all his paperwork out of the car and then took off up the block," the witness said.

The car was eventually removed from the road.

There was no immediate word on the location of the driver.
