A Mexican tourist who lost his leg in a runaway taxi in Manhattan this week is a "fighter," her husband told the post. .. ..
However, 32-year-old Daniela Hernandez admitted on Thursday that she has a long way to recover.
"Daniela is taking heavy painkillers," her husband Carlos Armazan said outside her hospital. "But she's motivated to get over this.
" She's a fighter, "Almazan said.
Hernandez amputated her leg just hours before she was scheduled to return to San Luis Potosí after a big apple excursion with her girlfriend after a horrific accident on Tuesday.
Bellevue doctors are competing to save the other leg as the family tries to comfort their two married mothers. Waiting for the swelling to subside, manipulate the rest of the foot and save it.
Armazan said her doctor estimated she would stay in the hospital for another three weeks.
"Before I got home, it was the last day in the city," her mother Lucia Galate Gomez said in the hospital.
"She was in the wrong place in a crazy city where everyone could get a license," Gomez said. "I don't know how to handle it. I don't know how long I have to stay here. I can't. It's not a friendly city. I don't know what I'm trying to do.
"She has more surgery. She has bruises everywhere, cuts and things. She is very suffering," she added. "We really need to find a way to help her emotionally and physically, but we also need to find a way to stay here.
" Sometimes I want to think I'm dreaming "She said. "It's not happening. Someone's going to tell me it's wrong, it wasn't true. It's not happening."
Gomez never loses consciousness to her daughter , "I saw everything."
"She really found someone who helped her and she wants to find him," she said. "I don't know who he was. She's always conscious."
The footage of the crash on Broadway between 28th and 29th streets is fixed under the cab. It shows that a large number of good Samaritans rushed to the sceneto free the pedestrians who were killed.
Police said another woman suffered a severe fracture in her leg. A fracture of the left arm and ribs, which another victim said had broken, and others were bruised.
A source near the family told the post this week that many of the wealthy housewife's friends returned to Mexico from a city outing early on Tuesday.
Hernandez was scheduled to leave that afternoon after shopping at the last minute.
News of the tragic crash struck Hernandez's hometown violently, sources said.
"Here, the community is very much affected by this tragedy," he said. "Everyone is very sad. They want to know if there is justice."
He is "unbelievable" that the injured woman's hometown in central Mexico has not been charged with a crash by a driver identified by police as Khan Zahangil. Said there was.
"It's very strange," he said, asking why Zahangil was "not detained."
Police said Zahangil remained on the scene after the crash that injured six people.
The post reported this weekthat his taxi had committed 18 road violations since 2019, but was he holding the handle for one of them? It's unclear, police said.
