Summary
Three cyclists were killed in separate hit-and-runs in New York City last week, making it the deadliest week so far this year for the city’s bike riders.
Thursday’s latest death was Mamadou Diallo, 40, a Brooklyn delivery worker from Guinea, who police said was struck by a BMW during a torrential downpour in Flatlands just before midnight.
Two days earlier, Paulina Tec Choc, 29, was killed while stopped on an e-bike in Brooklyn, and Angelo Camara, 51, a Bronx mechanic and father of five, was fatally struck on Bruckner Boulevard.
All three were traveling to or from work, according to friends and advocates, and police said the drivers fled in each case; no arrests have been made.
