Kensington Teen Cyclist Killed In Van Crash, Police Say

KENSINGTON, BROOKLYN — A teenaged cyclist was fatally struck Wednesday when he got doored by a parked car and fell into the path of an oncoming van, police said.

Yisroel Schwartz, 16, was biking north on 17th Avenue near 53rd Street at about 5:40 p.m. when he rammed into the open door of a parked car, police said.

Schwartz, of Kensington, fell into the street and was struck by a white 2013 Econoline E350 that was also heading north on the two-way street with no bike lane, said police.

Emergency responders rushed Schwartz, who suffered severe injuries to his head and body, to Maimonides Hospital where he later died, according to police.

Both the car and van drivers remained on the scene and neither was charged with a crime, police said.
