 Remembering 17- Year- Old Teen Killed by NJ Transit Train Engineer On January 2020 in  Middlesex Borough


MIDDLESEX, NJ — The person who was hit and killed by an NJ Transit train at the Cedar Avenue crossing Wednesday night has been identified as a 17-year-old teen from Middlesex borough, an NJ Transit spokeswoman confirmed to Patch.

The teen was walking on the train tracks at Cedar Avenue when he was hit at 11:10 p.m. Wednesday, she said. He was hit by a Raritan Valley line train.

The Raritan Valley line and freight trains use those tracks. This is not the first fatality to occur at the problematic Cedar Avenue rail crossing, which is where the NJ Transit tracks cross over Cedar Avenue/Possumtown Road.

Earlier this month, on Jan. 3, two women were killed when an NJ Transit train hit their car directly while it was on the tracks. Both women, New Brunswick and Middlesex borough residents, were killed. Florence Obado, 73, of New Brunswick was the driver of the car. Her passenger was Susan Mazurek, 44, of Middlesex borough.

In that instance, an NJ Transit spokeswoman said their car went around a "no crossing" gate that was down, but a resident in the area said it is very easy to cars to get stuck on the asphalt in the middle of the two sets of train tracks, especially when traffic is backed up. That fatal accident happened just past 8 a.m. on a Friday.

In January 2011, a man driving a tractor trailer was killed after his trailer was hit by a Norfolk Southern freight train at that same railroad crossing, according to MyCentralJersey.

Here is a video of the Cedar Avenue railroad crossing:


Then at 11:10 p.m., a Middlesex Borough 17-year-old was struck by a Raritan Valley line train near Cedar Avenue in the borough, the spokesman said. The teen was not named because of his age. The train had no passengers aboard and was in route from Raritan to a maintenance yard in Kearny.



The incident comes less than a month after two women were struck and killed at the same crossing.


The teen is the third person killed by a train near that crossing this month. On Jan. 3, two women in a car were killed when a New Jersey Transit train struck their vehicle.

Both incidents on Wednesday remain under investigation by NJ Transit police.

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
