A hit-and-run driver struck and killed Steven Morales, 36, as he biked on an access road by LaGuardia Airport last night.
Morales lived in Queens and worked for air cargo-handling company
Swissport. The perpetrator struck him at around 7:20 p.m. and fled the
scene, according to Port Authority police. Morales was taken to Elmhurst
Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Port Authority did not provide further information on the crash. According to unnamed police sources cited by the New York Post, the collision occurred at Marine Terminal Road and Runway Drive. The driver has not been apprehended.
For airport employees, biking to work has become an increasingly attractive option as ongoing construction and rising for-hire vehicle trips slow down motor vehicle traffic. The MTA makes Q70 bus service to the airport free during busy travel weekends, but the bus is still stuck in mixed traffic with private cars and taxis.
