Donation for Burial Expenses

Station 18, 'A' shift, presented a check for $500 to a woman whose father was killed by a hit-and-run drunk driver on Father's Day, June 18th. The tragic accident occurred on International Blvd and 38th Avenue when the driver of the vehicle, that had been spinning donuts in the street, careened off the curb and drove up on the sidewalk, killing the father who was standing with his son and daughter talking to a man sitting in another vehicle. The son was also injured and taken to the hospital. The father's body was returned to Mexico for burial. This was an emotionally traumatic incident for all involved, and the responding crew presented the gift to the father's daughter to help pay for the burial expenses and to express their condolences and sympathies to the family.
