In a tragic series of events, two motorcyclists lost their lives in separate accidents across New York City within a five-hour timeframe. The first incident occurred around 11:55 p.m. on Monday when a 48-year-old man riding a 2007 Harley-Davidson failed to navigate a curve on the FDR Drive in Manhattan, crashing into a divider near E. 72nd St. He was subsequently thrown from his motorcycle and struck by a passing Cadillac Escalade, resulting in his death at the scene. The driver of the Escalade, a 53-year-old man, remained at the scene and was not charged. Just under five hours later, a 22-year-old man riding a Harley-Davidson in Staten Island was involved in a head-on collision with a Ford Fusion at approximately 4:30 a.m. The Ford's driver, a 54-year-old man, was turning left onto Armstrong Ave. when the crash occurred, throwing the motorcyclist from his bike and causing severe head injuries. He was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital North, where he later died. The investigation into both crashes is ongoing, with the NYPD Collision Investigation Squad examining the details.
