A father and husband is dead after a car crashed into him while he was riding his bike home in a hit-and-run in the Bronx. Now police are looking for the driver responsible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers said a person was driving a BMW just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday southbound on Bruckner Boulevard in the Longwood section. The driver hit two parked cars before slamming into Angelo Camero, 51. Then, the BMW hit a Hyundai Sonata driving eastbound, which crashed into a parked Volkswagen.<\/p>\n

The BMW driver then ran away, the NYPD said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Camero was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The 38-year-old woman driving the Sonata was also hospitalized and is stable, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Camero’s sister-in-law said he was a proud father of five. He was a mechanic and had been coming home from work along his normal route when the crash happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Video from the scene shows how violent the chain reaction crash was.<\/p>\n
