71-Year-Old Killed On The UWS After Getting Hit By E-Bike: NYPD

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Hing Chung, 71, was killed after he was hit by an E-Bike on April 17 near the intersection of Amsterdam Avenue and West 78th Street, police announced on Thursday.

The New York Police Department arrived at the scene to find the senior with trauma to his arm and head. Chung was taken to Mount Sinai Saint Luke's Hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries on April 25, according to police.

A subsequent police investigation found that a 39-year-old man was riding an E-Bike northbound on Amsterdam Avenue within the bike lane — when in an attempt to cross the street — Chung stepped out from between two parked cars into the bike lane, police said.

The rider of the bike remained on the scene and was not injured, according to police.

The NYPD's Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad is still looking into the incident, but there are no arrests as of Thursday.
