EMT Arroyo was assigned to EMS Station 26 in the Bronx. A 14-year veteran of FDNY, she was known as the mother of the station for her concern and supportive spirit for her colleagues. EMT Arroyo and her partner, EMT Monique Williams, were responding to a 911 call shortly after 7 p.m. when passersby alerted them there was a male riding on the rear bumper of their ambulance. When they stopped at the intersection of Watson Avenue and White Plains Road to investigate and exited the ambulance, the male entered their vehicle drove it, running over EMT Arroyo and fatally injuring her, according to Commissioner Nigro.
Arroyo was the 8th member of FDNY EMS to die in the line of duty, and the 1146th member of the Department to lay down her life that others may live. There is no greater sacrifice.

"Yadi was the matriarch of the station. She was not only a mother of five, but a mother to the 100-plus people who worked here."

Lord, Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love;
where there is injury, your pardon, Lord;
and where there's doubt, true faith in you.
O Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, let me bring your light;
and where there's sadness, ever joy.
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
in giving to all people, we receive,
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
