WEST ORANGE -- The woman who was struck and killed by a charter bus Thursday morning was an 82-year-old West Orange woman, authorities said.
Dilma Khan was trying to cross Harrison Avenue at 9:31 a.m. when a DeCamp Bus traveling east on Mississippi Avenue attempted to make a left turn, and struck her, Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray and West Orange Police Chief James Abbott said in a release.
Khan was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:07 a.m., officials said.
Authorities are still investigating what caused the strike, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Fennelly said Thursday afternoon. No charges have been filed in the crash, he said.
The bus driver "remained at the scene, rendered assistance and called police," authorities said in the release.
A representative of the DeCamp bus company declined to comment on the strike when reached by phone Thursday afternoon.
Authorities were working to confirm whether or not anyone on board the bus suffered any injuries as a result of the strike, Fennelly said.
