A man was killed in a hit-and-run collision while riding his e-bike
on the Belt Parkway in South Ozone Park early Wednesday morning.
The unidentified victim was riding an e-bike westbound on the Parkway
when a driver of a 2019 Dodge Charger struck him from behind near Exit
18B (Aqueduct Racetrack) just before 1 a.m.
The driver of the Dodge kept going, dragging the e-bike rider with
him. The driver then sideswiped a 2016 Mercedes Benz E400 and then
stopped underneath the 130th Street overpass.
The Dodge driver and four passengers got out of the vehicle and ran
off on foot, leaving the body of the e-bike driver laying on the
roadway.
Police officers and EMS responded and found the man unconscious on
the roadway with severe trauma about the body. EMS pronounced him dead
at the scene.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
This crash was also reported upon by these and other media outlets, none of which identified the cyclist
