“It sounded like an explosion almost,” said Hector Martinez, the owner of Your New Barber nearby, who saw the aftermath of the crash. “I ran outside and I saw chaos.” One of the pedestrians who was struck has died. Martinez said first responders tried to resuscitate the person for 10 minutes, but were unsuccessful.
Martinez said he saw the suspect sitting by the destroyed bus stop in handcuffs as soon as he stepped out of his store. The sidewalk outside the Boston Market was splattered with blood and what appeared to be a Public Works truck was smashed, its tailgate hanging from its hinges.
