Police say they have arrested the driver in a fatal hit-and-run involving an ambulance in Midwood. Michael Gontar, 42, was charged on Wednesday, nearly three months after he allegedly hit 44-year-old Cherry Cayetano Sobel near Ocean Avenue and Avenue O. The tragic incident was captured on surveillance video. It shows the ambulance turning onto Ocean Avenue at the same moment that Sobel steps into the street to cross. It unfolded just before 6:40am on April 2. More on this from News 12 Brooklyn.
