The family of a 9-year-old bicyclist who died in a collision with a New Jersey Transit bus received payment of a $1.6 million settlement in their Bergen County suit, Jimenez v. New Jersey Transit Corp., on Nov. 29.

A New Jersey Transit bus operated by Cynthia Watkins was traveling west on West Church Street in Bergenfield on May 27, 2019, when it turned left into Veterans Plaza and collided with Alvin Marcallo. Alvin, who was riding west on the sidewalk of West Church Street, struck the side of the bus, just behind the left front wheel. The boy and his bike went under the bus and were run over by the left rear tires, according to a police report.
