NEW YORK — When Mike Chen first learned of his cousin’s death from New York Police Department officers, he was told that there has been a car accident. A few hours passed before Chen and his family put the pieces together.
“Later we found out he was one of the victims from the U-Haul,” Chen said, still shocked Tuesday, a day after 44-year-old single dad YiJie Ye was mowed down.
Nine people including a police officer were struck by the U-Haul driver who went on a road rampage Monday through the streets of Brooklyn. Ye was the only victim who died.
