Why New York Man Got On Roof On Bus
Witnesses told police that McDuffy opened the bus’s emergency roof access hatch before climbing onto the roof while the bus was in motion because he was feeling overheated.
After learning about the passenger on the roof, the Concord Coach Lines bus driver began to slow down and pull over. At that point, McDuffy fell from the roof to the roadway, landing on the shoulder of the Turnpike.
The investigation remains ongoing.
