On Sunday night St. Ann Village resident Aurelio Gonzalez was riding his bike home from Maskall Village when he was knocked down by a vehicle. The person who knocked him down did not stop to render aid, but miraculously Gonzalez survived the ordeal. He's still at the hospital - and has a tough recovery ahead, but his family wants justice:
Gloria Ramirez, Wife of Accident Victim
"I was wondering why he did not reach home but when I look I saw the policemen come and his Godson on a cycle. When they brought him they told me that it looks like he fell off his bike or something. When I looked I saw him bleeding. I was trying to help stop the blood but it did not want to stop. His foot was in pain. He tried to lift it and was shaking so we knew it was broken. The police said we have to take him to the hospital. They took us to Ladyville and then the ambulance picked him up. When we reached my daughter who was a nurse was here so when we got to the emergency the doctor said that it was not a bike accident it was a hit and run."
Naomi Stephens, Daughter of Accident Victim
"All we want is justice. Once you know you did it just come forward. We are good people. We just want justice for our dad. RIght now he is not too good and we just want everything to go well."
"We don't want any problem with them. Even if they already did it just tell us. We will feel happy, at least my mom will feel happy that she knows who."
Gonzalez is currently in stable condition. He has a broken foot and bruised face.
