said.
Rescuers rushed
to the scene to fi nd
the bike in fl ames
and the woman, who
suffered burns and
other severe injuries,
sprawled on the pavement.
She was pronounced
dead at the
scene.
The victim’s fellow
gathered at the scene
after learning the
woman worked as an
EMT. After an initial
examination by the
Medical Examiner, a
long line of Maimonides
Medical Center
ambulance workers
lined up and saluted
her as an ambulance
drove her away.
It was unclear
at this time what
the truck was doing
parked on Bay 35th
Street, but police say
he was a private contractor.
It was not
clear at this time if the
truck would be receiving
any summonses,
or why the woman hit
the truck in the fi rst
place.
