The man behind the wheel of the car that barreled through crowds of pedestrians in New York City’s Times Square is finally headed to trial.

The man behind the wheel of the car that barreled through crowds of pedestrians in New York City’s Times Square, killing a woman and injuring 22 other people, is finally headed to trial after various delays over five years, including pandemic-induced court shutdowns.

Alyssa Elsman, an 18-year-old from Portage, Michigan, on an annual family trip was killed. Her 13-year-old sister, Ava, was among the injured. Jessica Williams, of Dunellen, New Jersey, was so badly hurt that her mother had to accept the diploma at her high school graduation while she remained in the hospital.

“But how we handle this type of a case will determine how civilized of a society we are,” said defense attorney Enrico DeMarco.
