Overview
- The operator of a gas-powered two-wheeled vehicle collided with a Subaru around 4:40 a.m., was ejected, and was then struck by a white Nissan, according to police.
- EMS took the 25-year-old to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, and authorities have not released his name pending family notification.
- Both car drivers, a 51-year-old in the Subaru and a 22-year-old in the Nissan, remained at the scene and reported no injuries, police said.
- The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad is leading an active investigation, and no arrests have been announced.
- Reports differ on whether the two-wheeler was a moped, scooter, or motorcycle, a distinction that bears on bike-lane rules at the site where protections were recently removed.
