A Fairview police officer was on a breakfast run to a bagel shop on New Year's Day when his patrol car was struck by a limousine, police said Friday. Fairview Deputy Chief Frank Del Vecchio said the officer in the patrol car, Gino Sculco, 30, probably will not be disciplined for taking his car outside the borough.
Investigators "want to see if any portion of the rules and policies were violated," Del Vecchio said of the incident. "At this point, I don't think [Sculco's actions] did." A lieutenant sent Sculco to get bagels in Fort Lee around 8 a.m. because local establishments were closed, Del Vecchio said.
He referred questions about the accident investigation to Fort Lee police, who declined to talk about the investigation. Sculco, who has been on the force for two years, will return to active duty after a doctor clears him, Del Vecchio said.
Sculco was eastbound on Brinkerhoff Avenue on Thursday morning when a Lincoln Town Car driving on Route 5 smashed into the car's driver's side door, Fort Lee police said Thursday. The officer was treated for injuries to his head and upper body at Hackensack University Medical Center and released that day, police said.
The driver and a passenger in the Town Car, who were not identified, were taken to Englewood Hospital Medical Center, police said.
