Brooklyn motorcyclist dies from accident in Bushwick

A Bensonhurst man was found dead after what appears to be a freak accident over the weekend.

Police say that on Saturday, at around 5 a.m., officers found 68-year-old Franklin Goodman, the motorcyclist, lying on the road at Bushwick Avenue and Montrose Avenue with “trauma about the body.”

He was taken to Woodhull Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation found that Goodman was traveling northbound on Bushwick Avenue when he lost control of his 2004 Suzuki motorcycle.

He dropped his motorcycle when he reached Montrose Avenue, but came “to rest” under a box truck parked near 235 Bushwick Avenue.

There are no arrests at this time, according to authorities. The incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.
