"The 49-year-old driver of a red Hyundai was heading eastbound on W. 125th Street and was near Frederick Douglass Boulevard when he struck a 33-year-old male bicyclist and a 28-year-old male bicyclist in the right lane of the wide roadway."
"The younger cyclist was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he died. The other cyclist and the other injured car occupants were taken to Harlem Hospital, the cyclist in critical condition, the others stable, cops said."
"People who are struck by drivers at 20 miles per hour - a standard speed limit that advocates want Mayor Mamdani to implement - have a 90-percent chance of surviving. But those odds decrease dramatically as drivers hit higher speeds."
A high-speed crash in Harlem resulted in the death of one cyclist and injuries to three others. The driver, a 49-year-old man in a red Hyundai, struck two delivery cyclists and continued to collide with other vehicles. The crash occurred shortly after a mayoral announcement about speed-limit reductions in school zones. The younger cyclist died at the hospital, while the other victims were treated for injuries. Police have not confirmed the driver's condition or whether he was speeding or impaired at the time of the incident.
