Remember Antonis “Tony” Anastasopoulos, a Montclair High teenager killed by an NJ Transit train

The parents of a Montclair teen killed in a collision with an NJ Transit train six years ago will have another day in court. An appeals court has ruled in favor of the Anastasopoulos family, whose negligence lawsuit against NJT was previously dismissed. From The Star-Ledger:


The parents of Antonis “Tony” Anastasopoulos, a Montclair High teenager killed by an NJ Transit train while crossing a railroad trestle five years ago, can proceed with a negligence case in the death of their son, a state appeals court ruled yesterday.
The three-judge panel ruled that Superior Court Judge Marie Simonelli, sitting in Newark, applied the wrong legal standard when she issued a summary judgment dismissing the allegation that there was “more than enough time” for the engineer to stop the train and avoid the tragedy.
“He thought the kids were playing chicken or something of that nature,” said E. Drew Britcher, the attorney for the parents, Francine and Petros Anastasopoulos. “We have all the black box data.”
That mindset, he said yesterday, resulted in a critical delay in applying the commuter train’s emergency brakes.
“He could clearly have avoided this accident if he had followed the proper protocols,” Britcher said.

It is more murder caused by NJ Transit/ Coach USA deadly bus drivers and train engineers. I want my readers to know that some of these article links have been removed offline by NJ Transit/Coach USA attorneys . The bus companies have a person to suffer the internet to what articles are written about the countless innocent lives killed by their so call hired train driver.  If the bus companies reported, the bus companies have their attorney's to contact the companies and request them to remove the article that shines the light on the truth. There is too much corruption, cover-up, political favoritism, or nepotism going on with the companies and Vehicular Homicide Prosecutor Department. The bus drivers and train engineers go to work and get pay, while the victim's families have to
