Police have now identified the man fatally hit by a Coach USA bus in Orange County.
Middletown police say 67-year-old Rickey Melvin was struck Monday, shortly before 6 a.m., while he tried to cross busy Route 211.
A relative says he was living with family.
Police say Melvin’s disability and the dark-colored clothing he was wearing contributed to the crash.
The unnamed driver was the only person on board the bus, according to police. They say the commuter vehicle had a working dash-cam and that the driver is not currently charged with any wrongdoing.
The investigation is ongoing.
