Bicyclist Dies After Being Hit By Car In Forest Hills, NYPD Says

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS -- A Queens man is dead after he was struck by a car while riding his bicycle in Forest Hills, police say.

Yau-Teg Fung, an 84-year-old Flushing resident, died on Nov. 27 after spending more than a week in the hospital for severe brain injuries from the crash on the corner of Fleet and Alderton streets, police said.

On Nov. 17 at around 2:30 p.m., police responded to a 911 call of a bicycle-vehicle collision to find Fung lying on the roadway with severe head trauma, the NYPD said. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he died.

Fung was struck by an 80-year-old woman driving a 2015 Toyota Camry traveling west on Fleet Street, according to an NYPD Highway District investigation. Fung had been biking North on Alderton Street when he struck the driver's side rear door of the Toyota and fell to the ground, police said. The investigation found the women had stopped for the Stop sign at Alderton Street, but struck Fung as they both continued into the intersection at the same time.

Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.
