Bicyclist stuck and killed after swerving in front of livery cab in Crown Heights

A bicyclist was killed after veering in front of a livery cab driver in Crown Heights this morning, police said.

The unidentified man was peddling eastbound on Eastern Parkway, between Underhill and Washington avenues, around 1:15 a.m. when he swerved in front of a car that was also traveling east and was struck by the vehicle, cops said.

The victim was taken to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.

The cyclist was not carrying identification so police are still trying to figure out who he was. Investigators believe he is in his mid-30s.

The driver of the livery cab remained at the scene and no criminality is suspected, cops added.
