According to the Daily News, Faustino Morales was riding east on Randall Avenue in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx when a delivery truck killed him in a hit-and-run
crash.
Hunts Point is an industrial neighborhood with a
high volume of commercial traffic. Despite the accounts of speeding
and reckless driving, the crash site, Truxton St and Randall Ave, lacks a proper traffic signal.
UPDATE (See photo at bottom for visual): Nearly two years later the memorial still stands, a stark reminder of a life lost. Thankfully bike lanes have now been painted on Randall Avenue. Perhaps something good has come out of this, and no more lives will be lost to rutheless traffic in this neighborhood?
