Kelly Hurley Dies One Week After East Village Crash

EAST VILLAGE, NY — A bicyclist has died from her injuries about a week after she was struck by a box truck while riding her bicycle in the East Village, authorities said.

Kelly Hurley was pronounced dead Wednesday, according to a statement from the NYPD, one week after the crash that left her in critical condition. Police said last week that a box truck collided into Hurley as she turned left at First Avenue and Ninth Street on the morning of April 5. Hurley, 31, suffered head injuries and was transported to Bellevue hospital, police said.

The 59-year-old driver of the box truck remained at the scene last week, police said at the time. Police continue to investigate and no arrests have been made.

Authorities said Hurley, a Lower East Side resident, died on Wednesday and that her family had been notified. Hurley was a manager at SoulCycle, the fitness company that provides indoor cycling classes, according to social media posts and profiles. Hurley also worked with a nonprofit called Movemeant, which is dedicated to helping girls and women struggling with body image issues.

Hurley's profile on the Movemeant page identified her as the organization's vice president.

"In her free time, she enjoys riding her bike around the streets of NYC," her profile reads.

Hurley's Instagram account is filled with photos of her promoting her work with Movemeant and documenting everyday moments with friends and family. Many of her posts call attention to her work promoting healthy body image for women, and to her support for women's rights more generally. One of her last posts was from International Women's Day.
