A $1.7 million settlement was reached in a Bergen County suit, Pastor v. NJ Transit, on July 5 for a man who sustained multiple cervical and thoracic fractures in a motor vehicle accident with a New Jersey Transit bus.

On Sept. 16, 2019, plaintiff Renato Pastor, then 21 years old, was traveling westbound on Route 3 in East Rutherford when he noticed he had a flat tire and pulled over to the side of the road. That portion of the highway was on a bridge and only had a partial shoulder. Pastor put on his hazard lights and sat in the driver’s seat of his car. Erjon Rrosha was operating a New Jersey Transit bus, also driving westbound on Route 3, along the same path Pastor had taken, according to counsel for Pastor, Adam Epstein of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman in Roseland.
