New details have emerged from the investigation into the fatal hit-and-run on Northern Boulevard that killed an electric scooter rider in Flushing on Thursday morning.
The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad has determined that the victim was an 82-year-old man who was traveling eastbound on Northern Boulevard in the left turn lane.
The senior proceeded to turn left onto the westbound lanes of Northern Boulevard at Parsons Boulevard when he was struck by the driver of a red 2015 International tractor-trailer that was traveling eastbound on Northern Boulevard. The truck driver drove away from the scene of the collision westbound on Northern Boulevard, according to investigators
EMS responded to the location and pronounced the 82-year-old man dead at the scene. The identity of the deceased is pending proper family notification, police said.
No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.
This is actually a regular folding bike but with a lithium-ion battery cartridge. And it's actually bigger than the bike itself.

confused the guy on the bike did a u turn from east bound to westbound? in front of the tractor trailer?
As usual, NYPD will try to blame the cyclist. It's much easier to do than having to get off their butts and track down this murderer truck driver.
The truck driver was probably too busy on his/her phone to notice anything.
How is the bike battery bigger than the bike itself?
What kind of reporting is that?
The original reporter is obviously some anti-bike Nazi.
Danny Harris will fix this !
Car totalitarians just can’t catch a break.
