A cyclist heading northbound on Church Street was struck early this morning by a car heading eastbound on Franklin and is now in critical condition, according to the NYPD.
The call came via 911 at 5:41am. The 24-year-old woman was riding a Citi Bike as she headed north; a 54-year-old man and his passenger were in a Nissan SUV as they headed east through the intersection. The rider was taken by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals / Bellevue.
No arrests have been made, but the investigation is ongoing by the NYPD’s Highway District Collision Investigation Squad. I will update this post later today.
