Investigators said the driver struck two parked vehicles before crashing into the wall, causing part of the structure to break and injure a pedestrian on the ground level.
The injured pedestrian, a 65-year-old Paterson resident, was taken to Hackensack Hospital for evaluation, according to police.
Police identified the driver as a 19-year-old Philadelphia resident. No summonses were issued.
