JERSEY CITY — The last time Judy Gonzalez saw her 11-year-old son, George, he was running late for school.

From her apartment window here, she had thrown his football jersey down to him and turned to attend to George’s 2-year-old sister, as George began crossing busy John Fitzgerald Kennedy Boulevard, like he did every morning. Moments later while crossing the boulevard, he was struck and killed by a commuter bus, and died instantly.

The boy’s death in 2016 stunned residents, in part because in the three weeks before George was killed there were three other fatalities on Kennedy Boulevard, a major thoroughfare where drivers routinely ignore the citywide speed limit of 25 miles per hour.

“He was an innocent victim,’’ Ms. Gonzalez said. “My son wasn’t hanging out; he was a child on his way to school.” And, she added, “It’s not like if it just happened once, or twice. It’s numerous times now.”
