Wayne Driver Lighting Cigarette Causes Head-On Crash In Oakland: Police
Two drivers from Wayne were injured in a head-on crash that Oakland police said was caused when one of them tried to light a cigarette.

! Fugitive Captured By Oakland Police After Getaway Driver Splits
A fugitive from New York had just left a Bergen County pharmacy with a bag full of stolen merchandise when he found his getaway driver gone -- and police there instead, authorities said. A UPS driver told Oakland police that both men had approached him on the street a short time earlier. One of them showed him a bogus New Jersey identification card in a failed attempt to collect a package, Capt. Timothy Keenan said.
