"Jordan literally died on his way to work," said Kevin O'Toole, the former New Jersey state senator who's now the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The left-turning driver of the NJ Transit bus never saw him as Miller crossed Bruce Reyn…

Couple Tries To Rescue Beagle Struck By Truck On GWB
A pair of good Samaritans rushed a dog who was struck on the George Washington Bridge to the hospital, but he didn't survive, they said. The unchipped, tri-color beagle, believed to be no older than two, was hit by a truck in the upper level's westbound lanes around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, they said. A couple driving past scooped him up and took the Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus. "He didn't make it," the wife said. "We saw the dog running along the left lane as we got into the bridge so it’s likely [he] came from the NY side," she added. Port Authority police confirmed the repo…

: Accused Getaway Driver Joins NYC Pair Jailed In Violent Bergenfield Gas Station Robbery
UPDATE: A 19-year-old Honduran national was the wheelman for a duo who pistol-whipped a Bergenfield gas station attendant during a robbery earlier this year, authorities said. And that’s not all for Bronx resident Cesar Herrera Valerio. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed a detainer a short time after Valerio was booked into the Bergen County Jail, records show. ICE places detainers on immigrants believed to be illegally living in the United States. Federal judges in Newark then hold hearings to determine whether – and, if so, when -- they'll be deported. For now, Valerio joins…

: Suicidal Man Rescued From Beneath GWB
Police at the George Washington Bridge literally talked a suicidal man off a ledge Tuesday afternoon. Officers from the Port Authority and NYPD found the man perched on an I-beam and threatening to jump just below the bridge's Manhattan-bound lower level around 3:15 p.m. June 13, authority spokeswoman Lenis Valens said. The officers got him talking as colleagues closed the two right lower-level lanes on the eastbound side, witnesses said. Within a half-hour, they'd grabbed hold of the man, then carefully lifted him to safety. He was taken to a nearby hospital for an evaluation, Valens sai…
