Fleeing robbery suspect dies when his e-bike, SUV collide in New Hyde Park, police say
A suspect in a knifepoint stickup in Queens was fatally struck by a sport utility vehicle in Nassau County as he fled police, according to the NYPD.
Officers with the NYPD's 105th Precinct responded to a 911 call just past 8 p.m. at 256-17 Hillside Avenue in Floral Park, Queens, and spotted the male taking off on an e-bike and gave chase, police said.
As the pursuit entered New Hyde Park in Nassau County, a Lexis GX 460 slammed into the suspect at Lakeview Road and Bryant Avenue, according to authorities.
The crash site is about a mile and a half drive from the robbery address. Hillside Avenue is lined with stores in Floral Park but police did not give details on the alleged robbery.
The unidentified male suffered severe trauma in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.
