John Hagans, 50, was allegedly struck by a pickup truck on Avenue C near 25th Street at about 10:20 p.m on September 11, 2020. Hagans was trying to cross Avenue C, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said. The driver of a dark-colored vehicle fled the scene and moments later a NJ Transit bus ran Hagans over while he was already on the ground. That driver notified police, Suarez said. Just less say allegedly the truck struck the pedestrian. It does not give the bus driver the right to run over the person too. The bus driver had should go around the body or stop. I do not believe anything NJ Transit spokesperson or prosecutor's witness they find. They would lie for the bus driver and the bus company to dodge vehicular homicide charges. We do not know if the man was alive when the truck struck him. The pedestrian could have been seriously injured. The bus weighs more than a pickup truck, and it could have killed. We would never know because the bus company, prosecutor, and NJ Transit spokesperson will not tell the citizens the truth. I think this is a classic deviation for the spokesperson to get the attention of the bus driver's and the bus company's lack of training. A lawsuit will not rectify the killing epidemic caused by NJ Transit reckless bus drivers. Any bus driver kills a person should go to jail, be fired from their job, pay for their attorney fees, and not get their pension. We, as taxpayers and commuters, are paying for the lawsuits and the bus driver salaries. If there is no repercussion for the bus driver's deadly action, they will continue to get a slap on the wrist. And continue to kill a person. A bus is, like a gun, and a careless person is operating it. The family has to pay for a funeral while the bus driver gets a paycheck for running over a person. I believe both people should go to jail, but I know that the bus driver will walk away from a free man. Shake my head! I give my condolences to the victim's family.
