Widow's husband called 30 minutes before NYC bike path killings

LOWER MANHATTAN (PIX11) -- The widow of an Argentine bicyclist who was killed in the Halloween 2017 truck attack testified Monday that her husband, Hernan Mendoza, called her on Wi-Fi from New York City’s Meatpacking District 30 minutes before he was mowed down by a 6,000-pound truck.

Her appearance came during the death penalty phase of a federal trial, just over two weeks after Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov was convicted of killing eight people and injuring 18 others, when he sped down West Street in a rented Home Depot truck from New Jersey.

Ana Evans was the first relative to testify Monday afternoon, telling the jury her husband was a doting father of three who was sending lots of photos from his New York City trip during a high school reunion with friends.

“He attached a video of the market,” Ana Evans, the widow, testified.
