Motorcyclist fatally killed in BQE accident

A motorcyclist from Fort Greene was killed in an overnight incident along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on early Monday morning.

Police say that at around 4 a.m., 35-year-old Anthony Rivera lost control of his Yamaha motorcycle westbound on the BQE near Morgan Avenue on the Greenpoint side.

He was ejected and landed in the middle of the roadway. Rivera was then struck by a 2007 Toyota SUV, driven by a 52-year-old man.

That man remained on the scene and was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where he’s in stable condition, authorities say.

EMS responded to the scene and pronounced Rivera dead at the scene.
