Former New Jersey Transit bus driver Monica McRae fired for running over a city woman on Market Street in 2012 lost an appeal challenging her termination on Friday, according to New Jersey Superior Court records. McRae challenged an arbitration decision that led to her termination. The arbitrator found the July 24, 2012 incident, in which Elba Galeno, 45, was crossing Market Street, when McRae drove over her on a crosswalk dragging her into the middle of the intersection before stopping as “severe” and “preventable” and caused by “gross negligence.” A three-person panel that included a representative from the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 822, a representative from NJ Transit, and a neutral party selected by both entities, reviewed the termination. A two-member majority delivered a decision on April 10, 2014 that found there was “proper cause for the discharge.”
