On Monday morning, 35-year-old Alejandro Moran-Marin became the latest person to die when hit by a driver on the streets of New York City.

Moran-Marin was riding his bike near the busy intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues in Brooklyn when he was reportedly hit by Claudio Rodriguez, 37. According to witness accounts, Rodriguez had rear-ended another vehicle before crossing the yellow line to collide with Moran-Marin, dragging his bicycle under the SUV’s wheels and killing him on the spot.
