SECAUCUS — On Tuesday, Oct. 4 Lance Leedy, 56, of Hasbrouck Heights was traveling on the “main body” of Route 3 West in a 2001 Ford Explorer, according to a press release from the Secaucus Police Department.

After being treated for serious injuries at the scene he was transported to Hackensack University Medical Center, but he died from his injuries at 2:28 a.m.
