The Motorcycle Crash Follows Another Tragic NYC Traffic Accident
The tragic incident follows another tragic traffic incident in NYC. Last month, a cyclist died after being hit by an SUV, which subsequently collided with a parked vehicle on a street in Brooklyn.
On September 1st, a driver of a black Volkswagen SUV was heading north on Union Avenue near Lynch Street in Williamsburg when they collided with a 46-year-old cyclist who was also traveling in the same direction.
After colliding with the cyclist, the driver, a 40-year-old man, subsequently crashed into a parked white Honda Odyssey.
