One person was killed and another injured during a serious crash in Passaic County Monday afternoon.

The crash happened just after 12 p.m. on state Highway 208 in Hawthorne near Goffle Road.

The Hawthorne Fire Department says that one person inside the car was pronounced dead on the scene. Another was taken to the hospital. The extent of that person’s injuries was not immediately known.
