A Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman says 49-year-old Raymond Mong was fired from the transit authority in 2015, before he went to work for the charter bus company. The reason for his dismissal was not provided.
Two other people also were killed in Monday’s crash in Queens: a pedestrian on the sidewalk and a passenger on the city bus.
Sixteen other people were hurt, some of them seriously.
