Meskin
was struck half a block away from where he lived alone in Midwood.
Despite undergoing heart surgery a couple of weeks ago, the elderly man
“loved biking," his son said.
“He was a great man," said Mikhail Meskin, 49, still reeling from having to attend his father’s funeral Friday.
“I’m
devastated, he was elderly but he was healthy. He was the most generous
guy ever, he gave everything. He was a generous person.”
The 36-year-old driver stayed at the scene and was not charged.

On Wednesday, October 30 at around 10:09 a.m., cops
say a 36-year-old man was driving a black 2019 Chrysler Pacifica
traveling north on Ocean Parkway and approaching the Ave P intersection.
As the driver entered the intersection, 87-year old Yevgeny Meskin
entered the street from the east side and was cycling west. He was just a
minute away from his home when Meskin was struck by the front passenger
side of the car.
Meskin fell to the side of the roadway and was unconscious and
unresponsive with severe head trauma when help arrived. He was taken to
Maimonides Hospital where he died. The driver remained at the scene.
According to the NYPD, the driver had the green light, whereas Meskin
did not. But, according to the Daily News’ reporting, “Witnesses at the scene said the bicyclist had the right of way when he was struck by a 36-year-old man.”
Many crashes have been recorded along this dangerous stretch of Ocean Parkway according to StreetsBlogNYC
