A cyclist died on Friday as a result of injuries he sustained from being doored by a driver in Queens on Tuesday evening, police announced on Friday.\n<\/p>\n

Cops responded to a 911 call about a crash on Liberty Avenue near 103rd Avenue, within the NYPD\u2019s 106th Precinct, at 6:09 p.m. on Tuesday.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

The NYPD Highway District\u2019s Collision Investigation Squad found that the cyclist \u2014 identified as 24-year-old Sahan Ahmed \u2014 was biking westbound on Liberty Avenue. The 67-year-old female driver of a 2012 Kia Soul then opened her door while Ahmed passed, causing the crash, cops say.<\/p>\n

Police say the driver remained at the scene. Emergency services personnel arrived and transported Ahmed, who was in critical condition, to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.\n<\/p>\n

Ahmed then succumbed to his injuries and died on Friday, according to cops. He lived near the crash site.\n<\/p>\n

The NYPD has yet to make an arrest and is still investigating.\n<\/p>\n
