By Rebecca Everett reverett@njadvancemedia.com, For NJ.com UPDATE: Authorities identified the victim as an 86-year-old woman. VOORHEES -- A pedestrian was struck and killed by an NJ Transit bus Tuesday afternoon outside Boscov's department store in the Voorhees Town Center, police said. Investigators believe the victim was leaving the store at 1:41 p.m. when he or she was struck, Capt. Carmen Del Palazzo said at the scene. Police officers' efforts to render aid were unsuccessful and the victim died, he said. The person's identity is not being released until family is notified of the death, he said. The bus was parked Tuesday afternoon directly in front of the store's north entrance, with a large red sheet hung behind it to block the view of the body as investigators worked to determine the cause of the crash. Del Palazzo said the bus driver is cooperating with investigators. A spokeswoman for NJ Transit said the bus driver was taken to a local hospital for observation. She said there were three passengers on the bus, which was coming from Camden and on route to Turnersville. Del Palazzo said it was too soon to speculate if any citations would be issued. "We are trying to identify any possible witnesses," he said, and will seek out surveillance video footage from the store.
