NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Two men were killed Thursday morning when a scooter rider crashed into a bicyclist on the Queensboro Bridge, police said.
The men collided head-on around 8:30 a.m. in the bike path on the north side of the bridge.
According to the NYPD, a 39-year-old man was riding a motorized, stand-up scooter westbound when he crashed into a 35-year-old man who was headed eastbound a bicycle.
Both men were rushed to a hospital, where they died. They haven’t been identified.
Safety along the bridge’s bike and pedestrian paths has been a major concern for years, prompting the city to create a dedicated pedestrian path on the south side of the bridge.
