From the Daily News:
The family of a Staten Island woman was reeling from unimaginable
sorrow Tuesday — a day after the bicyclist was struck and killed by a
22-foot boat on a runaway trailer in what authorities described as a
freak accident.
The sudden, stunning death of Alexa Cioffi, 21, triggered a flood of
tears and memories from the too-short life of a woman who stood as a
pillar of strength to all who knew her.
“She was great,” her sister Vanessa, 17, told the Daily News. “She was a
mother hen to all of her friends, to everyone, to me. She was always my
protector.”
Alexa’s heartsick boyfriend, Michael Aspromonte, immediately flew home
from his mother’s Denver home, where he was visiting, after hearing the
grim news.
“My baby, my love, (is) now the Angel that looks down on me,”
Aspromonte, 20, wrote on his Facebook page. “Rest easy Alexa, I will
always love you …
The two began dating about 14 months ago. Aspromonte also posted a
photo of the couple, with Cioffi wearing red lipstick and his cheek
bearing the mark of a kiss. His dad Frank Aspromonte, 54, said his son
was crushed by word of the tragedy. “Forget it. He's shot,” the dad said
before breaking down. “What a sweet girl.”
Cioffi died Monday afternoon when the trailer carrying a fishing boat broke free and careened into her and a friend on Hylan Blvd.,
police said. Cioffi was pinned by the Trophy fishing craft when it came
to a stop, while her 22-year-old friend — also on a bike — was left
sprawled on the ground with critical injuries, police said.
Cioffi — the middle child of three sisters, including Vanessa and Jillian, 27 — died at Staten Island University Hospital.
According to DNAInfo the driver plead guilty and was sentanced to 60 days.
