Three days after the crash, San Francisco Fire
Department turned over to the police video from
the helmet camera of Battalion Chief Mark
Johnson. The video showed firewomen Elyse
Duckett driving over the spot where Ye was hit.
After a review of the video police questioned
Duckett on July 10th in which she reported
seeing the tarp covered teenager on the ground
and that firefighter Johnson told her of Ye’s
body and that she drove around her and that she
could not have hit her.
Thirteen days after the crash the county’s
coroner’s office confirmed that Ye was still
alive prior to her being run over by a fire
truck. However, in January San Francisco city
attorney Dennis Herrera's office announced that
Ye was dead before being struck by the fire
truck.
In January, Elyse Duckett, a 25 year veteran
with the San Francisco Fire Department filed a
claim against the department with the city in
which she alleges the department defamed her by
falsely naming her to the media as the driver
who ran over and killed 15 year old Ye. Duckett
claimed that a battalion chief's helmet camera
shows that another truck hit Ye and by the time
she was on the scene Ye’s body was coved in
foam.
Duckett believes that the fire truck that killed
Ye was from Rescue 10 driven by firefighter
Jimmy Yee. Duckett told her superiors that
"there was a video showing that Rescue 10 was
the vehicle that had hit and killed" the girl.
Duckett’s attorney, believes his clients name
was leaked to the new media, there is a cover up
and wants those people held accountable who know
exactly what happened and when it happened.
