Biker-bus death crash

A Bronx cyclist was killed in a freak accident yesterday when the driver of a parked car opened his door and knocked her into the path of a city bus, authorities said.

The 57-year-old woman, identified as Megan Charlop, from The Bronx, was riding on Crotona Avenue in East Tremont at about 8:30 a.m. when the driver of a parked Toyota opened his door into her path, police and witnesses said.

The cyclist hit the door and was bumped into the path of a BX17 bus, glancing off its front passenger side and falling beneath its rear wheels, witnesses said.

“It all happened so fast. She was hit by the bus and the wheel ran over her because we felt the bump,” said Angel Otero, 48, who was aboard the bus. “Everyone was screaming, ‘Oh, my God!’ Everyone was in shock. Everyone was horrified.”

Paramedics rushed to help, but the woman was declared dead at the scene.

Police issued a summons to the driver of the Toyota. The bus driver was not charged.
