Hours after a teenage cyclist was struck and killed by a truck driver in Staten Island, police say that a box truck driver fatally struck a cyclist in Greenpoint on Tuesday afternoon, marking the 17th cyclist killed on city streets this year so far. The tally is seven more cyclists than were killed in New York City in all of 2018.

The NYPD says that the crash happened near the intersection of McGuinness Boulevard and Norman Avenue at around 3:51 p.m. The police statement says that the 58-year-old male victim was "facing southbound on McGuinness Avenue on a bicycle at Norman Avenue when he made contact with a box truck that was traveling southbound on McGuiness Avenue."

Asked to clarify what "facing" meant in this case, an NYPD spokesperson said that investigators had not yet determined whether the cyclist was stationary or moving at the time of the collision.

The cyclist was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they died. Their name is being withheld pending notification of their family.

The driver of the box truck remained on the scene. No summonses or citations have been issued.
