According to North Bergen Police, Anthony Vainieri, Jr., the confidential aide to Mayor Nicholas Sacco, was in a minor accident on Jan. 9 at 12:50 a.m. in a city vehicle.
Vainieri got into a “fender bender” at 85th Street and Bergenline Avenue with a small commuter bus, North Bergen Traffic Division Commander Lt. Jimmy Summers said yesterday. He said that the driver of the vehicle went to the hospital for a “complaint of pain,” but that there were no injuries.
Vainieri was driving a township vehicle, a black four-door black Ford, said Summers.
North Bergen Spokeswoman Ruth Villalonga said that as the confidential aide to the mayor, Vainieri has 24/7 access to the township vehicle.
