Callahan & Blaine

Luis Rivera of the Bronx, NY was trying to cross a busy street seventy five feet from the marked crosswalk when he was struck and killed by a city bus. The driver reported that he never saw the twenty two year old, but felt a “bump” and stopped the bus immediately. When he left the bus to see what had happened, he found Rivera lying in the street, bleeding. Rivera was reportedly killed instantly when the bus ran over him.

The bus driver has a clean driving record and was determined to be sober at the time of the accident. According to police investigators, he will not be cited or charged in the accident. Just because police have not found any wrongdoing in the case does not mean that the driver or the city are not responsible for the deadly accident.
