Bicycle Rider Struck on Eastern Parkway
At around 9:00am Wednesday a cyclist on his way to work was stuck by a car when crossing the intersection of Eastern Pkwy. and Albany Ave. The driver of the bike, a black male, was struck and went flying off his bike sustaining only minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital by FDNY EMS, while the driver of the car, a black woman, was shaken up.
The Bike Rider was headed down Eastern Parkway towards 770 in the service lane opposite 770, and the car was coming down Albany Ave. and it remains unclear as to who had the right-of-way, but in general when a pedestrian or cyclist get hit by a car it is usually ends up being the drivers fault.
