Overview 
Diana Paz was struck by a Toyota pickup truck just after state trooper Krzysztof Piotrowski left her at a BP Amoco gas station. Piotrowski had arrested Paz for DUI, brought her to the Westchester PD for booking and then, after Paz posted bond, dropped her off at the gas station at about 5:40 a.m. An autopsy estimated Paz's BAC at twice the legal limit. A lawsuit said Piotrowski should have known Paz was still under the influence and that she did not have her cell phone or other means to seek assistance because he hadn't let her retrieve her personal belongings before he had her car towed.
