A fleeing Hackensack driver crashed a luxury car during a Maywood police pursuit, injuring an off-duty officer, then tried to keep going before he was captured, authorities said.
Christian Valentin, 20, had two people with him when he drove his BMW M4 on the wrong side of the road while passing a vehicle that he’d been tailgating near Passaic Street and Maywood Avenue, Police Chief Terence Kenny said.
Seeing this, Detective Christopher Nichols tried to stop him, the chief said.
Valentin hit the gas instead.
A few blocks later, the $71,000 coupe slammed into another vehicle as Valentine turned onto Esplanade at the Hackensack border, Kenny said.

A 64-year-old ex-con with decades of small-time arrests and convictions on his record was charged with stealing tires from a Maywood business.
As in many of his arrests over the years, North Bergen native Fred Worthington was released after borough Detective Christopher Nichols quickly tied him to the West Central Avenue crime.
He charged Worthington with theft, conspiracy and possession of heroin, drug paraphernalia and burglary tools, Detective Sgt. William Phayre said.
Worthington, who also recently had addresses in Cliffside Park and Fairview, has been charged and convicted in several burglary and theft sprees in Hudson, Bergen, Essex and Somerset counties dating back to the 1990s, records show.
