Motorcyclist Fatally Struck By Car On Grand Central Parkway In Queens
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A motorcyclist is dead after he was thrown from his bike and hit by a car on the Grand Central Parkway in Queens, police said.
As 1010 WINS' Carol D'Auria reported, the crash claimed the life of a 32-year-old man from Freeport, Long Island.
Adelso Espinal was traveling westbound in the far left lane on the Grand Central Parkway near 165th Street when police said the motorcycle hit a bump or something in the road. The bike then slid and Espinal became separated from it, landing in the middle lane.
At that point, police said a 71-year-old man in a Honda tried to avoid hitting Espinal, but was not successful.
Espinal was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital.
The driver of the car was not injured. The investigation is ongoing.
