The victim was driving for Anacapri Foods in Cranford, which supplies pizzerias and restaurants, when he apparently suffered a medical episode on South Farview Avenue shortly before 9:30 a.m., responders at the scene said.
The extent of his injuries couldn’t immediately be determined.
Farview Avenue was closed in both directions near Paramus Fire Company 4 while Belfi’s Towing and a local electrical company worked to remove the traffic light.
The crash severely damaged the pole and the truck on Farview Avenue in Paramus.Boyd A. Loving
