Isidro Rodriguez was sentenced to three to six years in prison for the May 2022 fatal collision that resulted in the death of pedestrian Jun Jin Yang. Rodriguez had pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter after driving his Cadillac Escalade at 42 mph in a 25-mph zone and running a red light, ultimately T-boning an Uber vehicle. The resulting crash pinned Yang between vehicles, causing his death. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez condemned Rodriguez's reckless actions, emphasizing the tragedy's profound impact on Yang's family.
"This defendant's reckless and selfish actions robbed an innocent man of his life and devastated a family that will forever mourn this senseless tragedy."
"No one should have to fear for their life while crossing the street. My heart is with the family of Jun Jin Yang as they continue to grieve their unimaginable loss."
