New York,NY : Dad of Times Square crash victim leaves note at her memorial on may, Saturday 20th 2017

The father of a Michigan tourist killed by an out-of-control driver in Times Square left a note at a memorial for his daughter, thanking New Yorkers for their support and saying her loss was a hole in his heart "that can never be filled."

Thomas Elsman on Saturday visited the site where 18-year-old Alyssa Elsman was killed.

His daughter had been visiting New York City with her mother and younger sister when she was killed Thursday. Authorities said Bronx resident Richard Rojas drove his car through Times Square and onto a sidewalk, striking helpless tourists for three blocks, before crashing into protective barriers. Twenty-two people, included Alyssa Elsman's younger sister, were injured.

At Rojas' court appearance last week, a prosecutor said Rojas told police that he wanted to "kill them all" and that police should have shot him. Police said Rojas also admitted smoking marijuana laced with PCP sometime before the crash. Officials were waiting for toxicology reports.
