A 22-year-old boy on an electric scooter died after being struck by an Amazon driver in The Bronx (NYC).
The accident occurred around 7:15 p.m. Saturday at 1230 East Tremont Avenue, Van Nest neighborhood. Both the delivery truck and the scooter were traveling east on the busy road before the fatal collision, according to police.
The unidentified victim was pronounced dead at the scene. At the moment the Amazon driver was not accused of any crime, while what happened was being investigated, he reported New York Post.
At the end of May, An Amazon delivery driver was shot in the face in Brooklyn (NYC) in the middle of a fight over a minor crash while making its deliveries in broad daylight, witnesses and law enforcement sources said.
With fewer cars on the asphalt during the pandemic, NYC road accidents have increased this year, according to statistics from a recent report by the Manhattan Institute.
Also since confinement there are more riders – delivery men and walkers – in the streets, and not all of them are legal. The rental and purchase of motorcycles and bicycles has been experiencing a boom in the city for some time, and many of its users disrespect the traffic lights and the direction of the roads and, in addition, have taken the sidewalks, threatening pedestrians even more. In the past week, Hollywood actress Lisa Banes died after being hit in a crosswalk by a hit-and-run scooter, en el Upper West Side Manhattan.
