Clown crashes car in north Jersey

The woman’s car crashed into a utility pole in Westwood Monday.

Her fellow clowns came to her aid.

Jack “Poppi T Clown” Erbstein tells The Record newspaper the driver was reaching for a GPS device that fell off the windshield when she veered off the road and hit the pole.
