2003 Campaign piece
According to a complaint I came across at the Union County courthouse this morning, operators of a Union County para transit van were oblivious to the fact that a passenger had fallen, or was ejected from the rear door of the van, until approximately one block down the road. The passenger died the same day.
A law suit has been filed in Superior Court on June 5, 2006. The suit alleges that the operators of the van did not properly make sure that a passenger was belted, and/or they failed to inspect, repair, and maintain the rear door of the bus to make sure it was in proper working and/or mechanical order and in a closed and locked position.
On June 4, 2004 at or about the intersection of Amsterdam and Myrtle Street, Roselle, Adrian Riordan, who was a passenger in a Para transit vehicle was discovered on the road way. As a result of the negligence, careless, and recklessness of the County of Union, Adrian Riordan prior to his death, suffered severe and permanent injuries, severe pain, and loss of life’s enjoyment.

I checked county resolutions dating back to 2004, there was nothing about this case which is called McCloud vs County of Union et als. I don't recall reading anything about this in Freeholder meeting minutes. I surely don't recall reading anthing about this in a newspaper.
