Let’s Remember All The Lives Slain By an NJ Transit and Coach USA Reckless Bus Driver Video. The genocide on innocent lives will leave you shock by the statics of all the people killed and swept under the rug by New Jersey’s people who can stop this. In the 1990s, New Jersey Transit was riding high. It won a coveted award for outstanding public transportation three times. Even as recently as 2007, it won a leadership award from New York University. Those days are no more.
NJ Transit was an excellent transportation company that runs quite well. It lived up to their mission statement about safety is their priority, until the last seven years. Now it has been in constant decline. Today, New Jersey Transit is in crisis. The death and injuries rate has skyrocketed under former Chris Christie’s administration, and it continues under today’s Governor Phil Murphy’s administration.
NJ Transit’s concern about human life diminished at the end of 2008 under New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine. Once former governor Chris Christie took office, he took NJ Transit from the state. He put it under the Governor’s operation. He made it easy for anyone with a bad driving record, and poor interpersonal skills to drive the bus, putting millions of people’s lives in danger. NJ Transit started to collaborate with other bus companies through subcontracting their buses to Coach USA transportation company. This was all for the sake of money, not pedestrian/passenger safety.
NJ Transit and Coach USA bus companies are hiring most of these bus drivers with a bad driving record and deadly mindset with no regret for the loss of human life.
The new policy of transit should read- “to be a bus driver for NJ Transit, and Coach USA -the candidate must have already killed someone with a vehicle, bad driving record, a killer mindset, and no remorse for human life. Guaranty, if you murdered someone with an NJ Transit or Coach USA bus, you will not be charged for murder. If you have a clean driving record or remorse for human life, you will not be hired.”
Regrettably, that is what is happening now. The statistics for NJ Transit casualties and injuries can be reviewed on available reports with the Department Of Transportation. What is shocking is the fact that NJ Transit and Coach USA do not care about investigating themselves regarding these massive injuries or deaths. Neither do they report all the deaths and injuries to the state like they are supposed to. Based on my conversation with the New Jersey MVD manager, every NJ Transit/Coach USA accident or crash that leads to citizen’s death is supposed to be reported to New Jersey State police so they can keep a running record.
Unfortunately, the information about these deaths in Bloomfield and other towns are unavailable to the media through an examination of the ‘black box’ transportation agencies are required to send to Washington DC’s Federal Transportation Administration.
On Wednesday, July 18, 2012, Deshon Johnson, 22-years old, was run over twice then dragged at the intersection of Broad Street and Bay Avenue by Coach USA Haitian bus driver 60-year-old Wilson Romaine, operating NJ Transit bus 709 in Bloomfield, NJ.
The Chief of Essex County Prosecutor Thomas S. Fennelly, Transit Attorney Michael Tuzzio, and Detective Mike Booker fabricated (said the witness stated) Deshon was hit once and struck by the back wheel. He then noted that the victim was banging on the bus with two hands while he was running after the bus. Contrary to the above statement, the witness told me a different story. The witness Helga who was sitting at the front of the bus, saw Deshon at the front door knocking hard for the bus driver to open the door. The second witness Tina said Naomi’s only child was not chasing the bus, because he was at the bus stop.
This fatality was investigated by Essex County Vehicular Homicide formal NJ Transit Police/ Accident Reconstruction Detective Vincent Nardone. Based on the information provided online dealing with Deshon’s case, the county should not be investigating a county incident because it will be considered to be a conflict of interest and bias.
The day Deshon’s life was snatch from him, the sidewalk had been under construction for about seven months. According to the article on Montclair Patch, the Bloomfield, NJ township people state they called the County Executive Joe DiVincenzo to fixed the area before someone gets killed. Like most of the political figures, they ignore the demands of the people’s needs and fix it when they want to not for the sake of safety. After Deshon was killed, the county rushed to repair the intersection four days later. Romaine was not convicted or charged for speeding when he advisedly killed Deshon.
If they county had acted more quickly, they could have possibly saved the guy’s life, as well as neighbors and friends who have perished. If the bus driver were fired in 1999 when he was convicted for speeding, Deshon would still be here with his disabled mother.
Unknowns to me, there was another person who died at the same intersection before Deshon’s death. Even though the lousy engineered intersection was the death of the other person, this was not the case for Mr. Johnson. His death was caused by a speeding bus driver who jumped the curb with a speeding conviction on his driving recorded, along with other dangerous infractions on his driving record and poor interpersonal social skills.
