BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A young man was rescued from a burning vehicle early Thursday after a wreck on Garden State Parkway near Saddle Brook, reports Daily Voice.

The victim, who was initially alert and communicating with first responders, later suffered an apparent seizure resulting from a head injury. He was rushed by ambulance to Hackensack University Medical Center’s trauma unit.
