Police say a bicyclist is dead and four others are recovering in the hospital following a crash near the Apollo Theater Thursday night in Harlem.<\/p>\n
A red Hyundai Tucson fatally struck the cyclist, identified by sources as Darly Zacharias, of the Bronx, before continuing on a path of destruction down West 125th Street.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the Hyundai, driven by a 49-year-old man, hit a second cyclist, a 33-year-old man, before colliding with a Toyota Rav4 and crashing into three parked cars: a Lexus with two people inside, a police cruiser and a tractor-trailer.<\/p>\n
EMS took 28-year-old Zacarias to Mt. Sinai-Morningside, where he died.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the second bicyclist was left fighting for his life at NYC Health+Hospitals\/Harlem, while the driver of the Rav4 and the occupants of the Lexus are expected to be OK.<\/p>\n
Police took the 49-year-old driver into custody. He has not been formally charged as of Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police say a bicyclist is dead and four others are recovering in the hospital following a crash near…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[30263,128,8939,9,24,63,129,131,130,2226],"class_list":["post-169963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bicyclist","tag-bronx","tag-fatal-crash","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-vehicle-crash"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
