I was on that bus. The victim, according to his companion, was a 28-year old Hispanic man. The car in question may have been silver, not "dark" as the report , as the companion stated that the car that hit the man was silver, and there was a silver sedan stopped about 50 feet north of the accident scene before pulling away.
