Citizen Comments About The Poor Investigation on Johnson Demise Incident In Bloomfield NJ Cause by Bus Dirver Wilsone Romaine

Here is citizen comments about Johnson life taken by Coach USA bus river Wilson Romaine

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office has identified the man who was killed by a NJ Transit bus yesterday as Deshon L. Johnson, a 22-year-old Essex County College student living in Montclair.

A press release from the Prosecutor’s Office said, “The preliminary investigation indicates Johnson was rushing to catch the #709 bus to get to his job when he was struck and killed yesterday morning by a NJ Transit Bus in the vicinity of Broad Street and Bay. He was pronounced dead at 10:54 a.m.

“No charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is ongoing.”

A spokeswoman from NJ Transit, Nancy Snyder, contacted Patch on Thursday.

“The driver of that bus was not a NJ Transit employee," she said. "He was employed by Community Transportation Company, also known as Community Coach.”

Snyder said there are ten contract carriers operating 56 bus routes in NJ Transit buses displaying the NJ Transit logo and the chevron symbol. “We have many private companies that operate NJ Transit bus routes throughout the state.”

Dan Carmicheal, a representative for Community Transportation, confirmed, “The driver is our driver, he is employed by Coach USA. We’re responsible for whatever he does on the job.”

Carmicheal said the incident is currently under active investigation.

“Tomorrow we’ll be in a better position to comment. [The authorities] are trying to come up with the reason this happened. We know there were five passengers on the bus but we haven’t heard anything yet.”
