NJ Transit and their bus Union put these bus driver on the road after they kill a pedestrian

 NJ Transit and their bus Union put these bus drivers on the road after they kill a pedestrian 



NJ Transit put pedestrians and passengers in danger by keeping bus drivers on the job with 50 incidents and on cocaine why operating the bus. This driver should have been fired with the first accident. The bus driver did not go to jail when he struck a man.


NEWARK — A man who suffered brain injuries after being struck by an NJ Transit bus has settled a lawsuit for more than $12 million.

The accident in 2016 occurred as Jason Gillespie walked in a crosswalk in Summit and left him unable to work or drive and with permanent neurological damage.

Gillespie's attorneys said driver Ronald Lewis had been involved in more than 50 accidents on the job

Lewis tested positive for cocaine, but Gillespie attorney David Mazie contended that didn't prove he was impaired.

NJ Transit had sought to show Lewis was under the influence at the time of the crash, which would have allowed the agency to avoid liability.

An NJ Transit spokeswoman didn't comment Tuesday.

The settlement was initially reported by the New Jersey Law Journal.

NJ Transit bus strikes, kills pedestrian. Another person seriously injured Koran Tajhai Dupree Baker, a 25-year-old Newark

  Another Life Lost to NJ Transit: When Will It End? Early Sunday morning, tragedy struck in Newark when an NJ Transit bus hit two pedestrians, leaving one dead and another seriously injured. According to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, the incident occurred at 12:18 a.m. on the 400 block of Springfield Avenue. Koran Tajhai Dupree Baker, a 25-year-old Newark resident, succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. The second victim remains hospitalized, fighting to recover. Here we are in 2025, and NJ Transit buses continue to take lives under Governor Phil Murphy’s administration. How many more people must be injured or killed before real accountability is enforced?

 "The federal statutes that force my opponent to comply with discovery are Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, 34, and 37. Rule 34 requires production within 30 days of a request. Rule 37 allows me to file a Motion to Compel if they fail to produce, and authorizes the Court to impose sanctions, award fees, strike their pleadings, or enter default judgment for willful non-compliance. Rule 37(e) also addresses spoliation of electronically stored information including body-worn camera footage and CAD records. In the District of New Jersey, Local Civil Rule 37.1 required me to complete a meet and confer before filing — which I completed on April 30, 2026." If you are trying to compel discovery and don't know what local rules and statutes govern compliance, you are wasting your time, and showing that you might not know what you are doing and aren't credible. This is akin to the tail wagging the dog or putting the cart before the horse. Sending a notice to opposing counsel achieves nothing...
