Coroner's Officials ID Charter Bus Employee Killed in Repair Yard Accident

A worker for a charter bus company in Oakland who was killed in an accident on Friday has been identified by the Alameda County coroner’s bureau as 55-year-old Tarsem Josen.

Josen was killed in an accident reported at 12:04 p.m. Friday in a repair yard in the 700 block of 45th Avenue. He reportedly was wedged between two buses and was pronounced dead at the scene, Oakland police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson said.

An employee at Charter Pros today declined to comment on the death, citing the ongoing investigation.
