Overview

• Police say Valenti was struck around 7:15 a.m. on Flushing Avenue near North Elliott Place and was pronounced dead at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital.
• Family members said she had just stepped off a bus on her way to work, and police reported she was crossing mid‑block.
• The e‑bike’s riders, men ages 41 and 39, were treated in stable condition and were not arrested, and the bike was retained at the scene.
