Scooter Rider, Future Nurse Dies After Being Hit By NJ Transit Bus In Jersey City
JERSEY CITY, NJ — A man riding an electric scooter was struck and killed by a NJ Transit bus in Jersey City last Friday, NJ Transit confirmed this week.
Timothy Alva, 29, of Bayonne was the victim in the crash, NJ.com reported Wednesday, citing a crash report.
An obituary for Alva described him as a “hardworking, very outgoing young man” who worked as a dialysis technician for Fresenius Medical Care, and who aspired to become a nurse.
On Friday, Aug. 23, around 11:56 a.m., the number 80 NJ Transit bus was heading toward Montgomery and Greene streets in Jersey City when it hit the victim at the intersection of West Side Avenue and Van Nostrand Avenue in Jersey City, NJ Transit spokesman Jim Smith told Patch.
There were no injuries to the 40 customers on board the bus, Smith said.
Jersey City police are leading the investigation.
A police spokesperson was away this week and did not respond. Her email referred inquires to another spokesperson who did not respond by press time.
NJ.com said it has had difficulties obtaining information, and learned of the fatal crash through police radio transmissions and from a local activist.
“As of Wednesday morning, Jersey City police and officials had still failed to provide the crash report, a public document, to The Jersey Journal, despite multiple requests,” they wrote on Wednesday.
They said that the four-page crash report, obtained from local safe streets activists, says the bus driver went through a red light and only came to a stop a block after the crash.
The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed on Thursday that they are not investigating, and that any investigation is being conducted by the JCPD.
Services for Alva will be held this weekend and on Tuesday. Read his obituary here.
