The Escape driver and his passenger, both 21 from Wayne, told police that they were headed to Stiletto off Paterson Plank Road just before 10:30 p.m. when their vehicle was hit by a Nissan Altima.
Both climbed through the driver’s side window and were taken to the hospital by ambulance, police said.
The Altima driver, a 27-year-old Paramus man, told police that he tried to stop but his brakes failed.
A witness said the Altima’s tires made “a loud screech” before slamming into the Ford.
Surveillance video shows nearly 175 feet of skidmarks, police said.
The Altima driver wasn’t injured, they said.
