62yr old Yun Ko, a school bus driver who was on his way to work for the Consolidated Bus Transit Company, was found lying face down in the roadway unconscious and unresponsive with severe trauma to his body at about 6:00AM at the intersection of Zerega Avenue and Randall Avenue, just a stones’ throw away from his bus depot on Zerega Avenue in the Bronx on Tuesday September 25th, 2018.

Responding medics rushed Yun, who lives in Queens, to Montefiore Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Police say his injuries are consistent with being struck by a vehicle, which did not remain at the scene, making his death a criminal act.

A female bus driver, who watched as Investigators worked the scene, confirmed she knew the deceased and they both worked as Bus Drivers for Consolidated Bus Transit. “He was a very good driver” she said before getting emotional and walking away, declining to give her name.
