Friends and family gathered at Maria Martinez's favorite restaurant Friday evening to pray and remember the loving wife and mother tragically lost after back-to-back crashes on Staten Island.
Martinez, riding in the back of an ambulance, was on her way to the hospital after being hit by a car Friday morning when a crash flipped the medical transport vehicle on its side. Investigators said the ambulance was struck less than three blocks from where first responders picked up the 35-year-old woman. She had been crossing the street to reach the bus stop when the driver of a Dodge Charger struck her, police said; no charges against the driver were immediately announced.
Around 6:30 a.m., the ambulance, traveling the wrong way down a street and attempting to cross through an intersection, was T-boned by the driver of a Jeep near Jewett Avenue and Maine Avenue, according to police. Three EMS members inside the ambulance and the other driver were also taken to hospitals but expected to survive.
