E-bike rider killed after getting doored in NYC: NYPD

A man riding an e-bike through Queens was killed after he was doored by a Mercedes Benz, then run over by a Jeep, cops said Saturday.

The 20-year-old victim was zipping south along 164th St. near Chapin Parkway in Jamaica Hills about 6 p.m. Friday when a motorist who just parked his Mercedes Benz opened the drivers-side door.

The victim struck the door and was flung from his bike โ€” landing directly in the path of the oncoming Jeep Cherokee, cops said.

First responders found the victim sprawled out on the ground suffering from multiple injuries. He was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where he died.

His name was not immediately released.

Both motorists remained at the scene. No charges were immediately filed.
