Some of the murder victims names killed by NJ Transit and Coach USA bus drivers and train engineers

Some of the murder victims names killed by NJ Transit and Coach USA bus drivers and train engineers

This list is staggering numbers of death I found that was online that was reported. 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 pay for funerals and go to the cemetery. Most of these deaths and prosecutor corruption occurs under Chris Christie Administration and continue with Governor Phil Murphy. 

I am upset to see that US Senator is passing a bill to protect the bus drivers from passengers assault but not the victims murder by these bus drivers/train engineer. The law states that anyone who assaults or does any dangerous thing to a bus driver will go to jail. 

New Jersey political figures who have been in the office sit on their asses to collect a check and not doing anything about passing a law to have these drivers go to jail. 

I say to all of these politicians who have bee occupying these political positions need to get out of the office and let someone who has compassion for human life to do what is right for all social justice. These people on this list can be your loved ones. 

 Governor Murphy is giving NJ Transit millions of dollars for not increase transportation fare. He should invest money to put a memorial where deadly transit drivers killed every person's life. 

The prosecutors need to stop blaming the victims for their death and blame the person who is operating these buses and trains using it as a weapon. 

There needs to be justice for these innocent people killed in vain.

There are many cases against NJ Transit that have not been to court yet. Just filed. I could not see further on them. Most seem to vehicular accidents.

*As far as I can tell, no drivers nor the company has been charged with vehicular manslaughter or other related charges.

Accidents

In 2016 an NJ Transit commuter train crashed into Hoboken terminal. There were one death and 114 injuries. The driver, Thomas Gallagher, was determined to suffer from sleep apnea which was the cause of the crash. This later caused New Jersey Transit to issue a new requirement for employees. As of October 18th, 2018, the company faces 45 lawsuits over this crash.

Raul E. Medina, a 72-year-old Newark man, was struck  and killed today by an NJTransitbus at approximately  9 am in the vicinity of Clinton Avenue and Astor Street in  Newark. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene at  9:26 am., the prosecutor's office said in a statement.  Medina was traveling on foot when he was struck by a bus  traveling eastbound on Clinton Avenue.

He was taken to University  Hospital in Newark in critical condition, where he died  three days later. According to Katherine Carter, spokeswoman for the  Essex County Prosecutor's Office, Garcia appeared to  have been crossing the street at the time of the incident.  The prosecutor's office dispatched its Major Crimes/ Vehicular Homicide Unit to the scene, but no charges  or summonses have yet been issued, she said. NJ Transit spokesperson Nancy Snyder said that when  such an incident involving one of its buses occurs,  the company conducts its own internal investigation.  The bus driver is also pulled from service until the  investigation is completed. Snyder  said Friday that the company's internal investigation into the  Belleville incident continues. The incident was one of at least three area bus accidents  involving pedestrians in the past few weeks, with two of the  victims succumbing to their injuries. Exactly one week later, another pedestrian was hit by a  bus and died, this time in Bloomfield. Deshon Johnson, 22, of  Montclair was fatally struck on July 18 at the intersection of  Broad Street and Bay Avenue. It is believed that Johnson,  who was pronounced dead at the scene, was rushing to  catch Bus No. 709 to get to his job at Home Depot on  Broad Street in Bloomfield when he was hit, according to  authorities. The bus was  operated through Coach USA.http://www.northjersey.com/ news/164076336_No_charges_filed_in_fatal_Belleville_bus _accident.html
