“My Husband Died Like an Animal”

Wife of Ecuadorean man killed in gruesome accident demands justice

The wife of the Ecuadorean immigrant hit by a car, trapped under a van and dragged for nearly 20 miles through New York City is demanding justice for her husband's death.

Sonia Solorzano says husband Guido Salvador Carabajo-Jara died as if he were an animal in a gruesome car accident on Wednesday.

She says she doesn't want her husband's death to go unpunished.

New York police have said the death was accidental and that they have no plans to charge the two drivers. Both have clean driving records.

Solorzano did not say if the family plans to file a lawsuit.

Caravajo's sister said the family will need financial aid from the Ecuadorean government just to repatriate the body.
