Bicyclist Hit Open Car Door, Gets Run Over In Sunset Park: Cops

SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — A bagel delivery man on his electric bike was killed New Year's morning after he hit an open car door, was flung into the road and hit by another car, police said.

Just before 6 a.m., 26-year-old Hugo Alexander Sinto Garcia was riding his electric bicycle down 3rd Avenue when he hit the open car door of a parked 2009 Toyota taxi cab. Garcia fell off of the bike and into the northbound lane of 3rd Avenue, where he was hit by a 53-year-old driver in a Nissan, police said.

The accident occurred just a block away from Garcia's home on 29th Street, records show.

Police arrived to find Garcia lying in the road, unconscious and unresponsive with trauma to his head and body. He was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he was pronounced dead.

Drivers of both cars stayed on the scene with officers, police said. The accident is being investigated by NYPD's Collision Investigation Squad.

Garcia was on his way to work as a bagel delivery man at Bagels By the Park in Carroll Gardens, the Daily News reported. The business started to think something was wrong when he didn't show up for work. His brother, who also worked at the store, would later leave the bagel shop when he heard Garcia was in the hospital.
