The trial of a Bronx man accused of fatally running over an FDNY EMT with her own ambulance continued Tuesday. NatDuddridgeTV was in the Bronx courtroom as victim Yadira Arroyo's partner testified.
members filed in to show support for their former colleague, Arroyo's family, and for her EMT partner, Monique Williams, as she took the stand.
The suspect, Jose Gonzalez, was expressionless during the testimony. He is charged with murder, manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, robbery, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence. Williams said the man jumped off and stole a backpack from a young man who was walking on the sidewalk. They stopped and Arroyo got out to help him, and Williams stayed in the cab. That's when she said the man jumped into the ambulance driver's seat. Williams said she punched him and Arroyo tried to pull him out, but he put the vehicle in reverse and drove over her.
CBS2 tried to speak to Gonzalez's father, but he declined, saying he was upset. His son's defense attorney said,"No comment."
