A cyclist is in critical condition after being struck by a dump truck driver at the intersection of Jay and Tillary streets in Downtown Brooklyn at approximately 7:03 this morning, according to the FDNY and NYPD. Numerous police were still on the scene just before 9:00 a.m., and had cordoned off a section of the intersection surrounding the crash site and a MAC Trailer dump truck. A helmet lay in the crosswalk, as well as items including what appeared to be a Tupperware container. Blood was also visible in the crosswalk.

The victim, a 35-year-old male, was transported to Methodist Hospital. While a fire department spokesman said that the victim was not likely to die, a spokesman for the NYPD said that the department had received notice that he was in critical condition, with head and leg trauma. We'll update with any further clarification.

According to a preliminary NYPD investigation, the MAC truck driver, also a 35-year-old male, was attempting to make a right turn eastbound on Tillary when he collided with the cyclist, who was traveling in the same direction.

The driver remained on the scene, and no arrests have been made at this time. An NYPD investigation is ongoing.

The intersection of Jay Street and Tillary Street saw 41 cyclist or pedestrian-involved crashes between 2002 and 2011, more than any other intersection on the crash-prone roadway. Three cyclists have been injured at the intersection this year to date, according to the city's Vision Zero crash tracker. The Department of Transportation began installing protected bike lanes along Jay Street over the summer, though advocates have pointed out that the intersection of Jay and Tillary is not entirely protected for cyclists.

[UPDATE 11:40a.m.]: The post has been updated to reflect that the cyclist suffered head trauma. According to the Daily News, the truck involved in the crash is owned by Mountain Man Sand & Gravel in Huntington, Long Island.
