When is this bus driving killing is going to stop killing
innocent pedestrian again. The bus driver was speeding, had a lot of violation
on his driving license and warrants but he was still driving the bus. The bus
company allows this driver to still operate the bus when they knew the bus
driver was not legally in good standards to drive the bus.
The bus driver sped around the corner and his back wheel
jumped the curb and killed Deshon Johnson. The Essex County prosecutor office
closed my son case and the bus driver was not charged for Deshon's demise and
he is back driving the bus. I guess so he can kill again. Look at this bus
driver who had so many violations and still was operating the bus. This needs
to STOP! Please sign my son’s petition if you did not already do so. Your
support is greatly appreciated. We need to raise awareness because this type of
killing is not getting the proper media attention. Who next, it can be one of
your love ones!
WEST NEW YORK — A bus driver who hit a light pole that toppled onto a stroller, killing an infant and injuring seven other people in a chain-reaction crash, faced criminal charges including using a cellphone while operating a vehicle, authorities said Wednesday.
Idowu Daramola, 48, was scheduled to make an initial court appearance but the hearing was moved back to Thursday morning. The Thornwood, N.Y. man is also charged with death by auto and reckless driving in Tuesday afternoon's crash, according to the Hudson County Sheriff's Office.
Daramola also had two outstanding warrants for picking up or discharging passengers in an unauthorized area, according to sheriff's office spokesman Mike Makarski.
The accident happened in West New York on a road that overlooks the Hudson River and offers a panoramic view of Manhattan. Authorities said the bus struck a lamppost, which fell onto a stroller. The bus then hit a tree, another lamppost and caromed into a parked car, which struck three other parked vehicles. Eight-month-old Angelie Paredes was killed, and seven other people were sent to hospitals. Paredes' family was scheduled to hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
"I heard a loud crash and people screaming," said Iris Pizarro, who lives in an apartment building across the street. "That's when I ran to the window and saw the mother over the baby screaming, "My daughter! My baby!"
On Wednesday morning, a makeshift memorial of lit candles, teddy bears and flowers had been set up as utility crews worked to reinstall the light pole. The bus stop sits between a park and playground atop a swath of trees and shrubs running down a steep slope.
The vehicle was operated by Sphinx Transportation, which provides shuttle service between New Jersey and New York City. A woman waiting at the bus stop Wednesday said she frequently takes the shuttle bus if it arrives while she is waiting for a New Jersey Transit commuter bus. But she said she wasn't surprised that one of the buses was involved in an accident.
"I'm not shocked at all that it was one of these drivers," Yorvira Kavanaugh said. "They're always on their phones, always arguing with each other. Sometimes they pull up next to each other and argue about passengers.
The company said Tuesday it did not know the cause of the accident.
"This was horrible," she said. "I have two babies and I'm always walking around here with them."
