The road rage erupted after the victim’s husband asked Jason Mendez, 35, to stop smoking outside the Garnerville store near the small hamlet of Haverstraw just before 2 p.m. Wednesday, a witness told reporters. Instead, the furious smoker got into his car and mowed down his helpless victims, then backed the vehicle over them, Haverstraw police said in a statement.
When police raced to the scene, Mendez brandished a knife “and failed to comply with the responding officers verbal commands to drop” the weapon, Haverstraw police said in a statement. The cops then “tased, subdued” and took the crazed driver into custody.
Joe Crothers, 62, who works next door to the 7-Eleven at T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Home, told the Daily News he saw the family walking into the store, adding that the dad went inside to use the ATM while his wife and kids waited outside.
Mendez, of Washingtonville, Orange County, was charged with murder and attempted murder, authorities said, and was awaiting arraignment.
The 32-year-old pregnant mom died at the hospital and was not immediately identified.
