A Queens man was charged Wednesday night with fatally hitting a Brooklyn cyclist and speeding off, police said.
Police said 54-year-old Can Reng Ma was hit and killed by a
box truck near East 9 Street and Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay just after 5
p.m. on Tuesday night.
Junior J. Hicks, 31, was later arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with a death involved.
from the Daily News:
Every night, Brooklyn resident Yan Ping Ma and her family wait for her
father to come home and cook up another of his special dishes.
Tuesday night it was going to be pork ribs and fish, but the meal never came.
Her father, Can Reng Ma, 54, on his way home from work, was killed on
his bicycle by a hit-and-run driver behind the wheel of a Ryder truck.
“His whole pelvis was broken, his lungs, liver,” Yan Ping Ma, 23, said.
“And the driver just hit and run, leaving my father lying on the floor.”
Can Reng Ma was on his bike at about 5 p.m. after finishing a day’s
work as a laborer at a Coney Island lumber supply company, when he was
run down on Avenue U and E. 9 St. in Sheepshead Bay, cops said.
Paramedics rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Speaking at the family’s home in Bensonhurst, Yan Ping Ma said she, her
17-year-old brother and her mother were waiting for her father to come
home and cook up another of their favorite meals.
Ma’s wife, Li Hua Wu, was inconsolable Tuesday night, his daughter said.
“She was crying for the whole night,” the daughter said. “She couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep.”
The family emigrated from China seven years ago.
“We are new immigrants,” the daughter said. “My father was innocent...and he worked so hard to support the family.”
Police on Wednesday arrested the driver, Junior Hicks, 31, of Queens
Village, and charged him with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The
announcement came as cops were preparing to release a photo of a Ryder
box truck to the media.
