BRONX - It’s every driver’s worst fear in the age of electric scooters and e-bikes in the city. A driver hit and ran over a woman riding an e-bike from the sidewalk into the crosswalk as the SUV was making a turn in the Bronx, investigators said. 




A 67-year-old woman was pronounced dead after she was struck and run over by an SUV in Belmont. The woman was riding an e-bike on the sidewalk and then proceeded to ride across the crosswalk at East 188 Street and Park Avenue. 



Police released the final findings of an investigation into the September 23rd fatal crash. 



NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad determined that at around 11:30 am on September 23, a 2010 Ford Escape driven by a 63-year-old driver was attempting to make a right turn onto Park Avenue. At the same time the unidentified woman was riding the e-bike on the sidewalk of East 188th Street. 



As the bike went off the sidewalk and into the crosswalk it was struck by the turning SUV. The rider was thrown from the bike and onto the street where she was run over by the SUV.   



The victim was rushed to nearby St. Barnabas Hospital where she was pronounced dead. 


The police have withheld the victim’s name pending family notification. 


The driver remained at the scene and has not been charged.
