Story summary

A man riding a two-wheeled device was fatally struck by a pick-up truck in the Bronx on Wednesday morning around 8:25 a.m., when he was heading west on East 145th Street and the driver traveling south on Brook Avenue hit him. The unidentified victim sustained head and body trauma and was pronounced dead at Lincoln Medical Center.

Two days earlier, Douglas Adams, a 71-year-old man riding his bicycle in Central Park near East 84th Street around 8:20 a.m., had crashed into an unleashed Golden Retriever that darted onto the road. He too suffered severe injuries and was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, but could not be saved.

The truck driver involved in the Bronx incident is a 55-year-old man who remained at the scene without facing immediate charges. The type of two-wheeled device used by the unidentified victim—whether it was a bike, scooter, or moped—is still unknown.
