EDGEMERE, Queens (WABC) — A bicyclist in Queens was critically injured after a freak accident led to him being struck by a car in the Rockaways.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old victim was riding westbound on Beach Channel Drive just before 8 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

Investigators say a 15-year-old girl who was sitting in the backseat of a parked car suddenly opened her door.<\/p>\n

That knocked the victim into the path of an oncoming car.<\/p>\n

EMS responded to the location and transported the cyclist to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. He is in critical condition, with trauma to the head and body.<\/p>\n

Both drivers remained on scene and no charges have been filed.<\/p>\n

NYPD Highway District Collision’s investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
