At 3:20 AM on June 5, 2020, SWAT officers in Cleveland, Ohio, were responding to a call for a male barricaded in a house making threats to shoot police officers. While in route to the destination, the SWAT van was struck by a drunk driver who failed to stop for the red light and who subsequently fled the scene. The driver has since been apprehended and charged with fleeing the scene of an accident and removing his vehicle's temporary tag in an attempt to conceal his crime.
My nephew, Jonathan Rodriguez, 30 years old, was among the five officers in the SWAT van. He was rushed to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. As a result of the accident, Jonathan sustained injuries to his spinal cord, which required lengthy surgeries. Doctors were able to save his life, but the family has been told he has an extensive journey to recovery. He is currently in a medically induced coma to help with his recovery. At this stage, he is expected to have a long road of treatments and physical therapy ahead, and we are not sure what other complications he may have.
Jonathan and his young family have a lengthy journey ahead of them. Jonathan (a Police Officer), and his brother Israel (a Fairfax County Firefighter) have chosen to dedicate their lives to help others in need. And now, in Jonathan’s time of need, we ask for your help.
We thank you for any contribution to this great cause.
We have set up a GoFundMe page, where all funds raised will go directly to Jonathan, his wife, and children to cover his medical costs, along with any basic needs moving forward.
Also, we very much appreciate your prayers regardless of your religious affiliation.
Let’s come together and help this young family in their time of need, as Jonathan finds strength, hope, and faith on his journey to recovery.
