A Sunset Park cyclist died on Wednesday after a passing box truck struck him in Borough Park.
Pedro Tepozteco, 26, was riding his bike on 47th Street at 5:30 p.m., when cops say he “fell into the truck” as it attempted to pass him near the intersection of 17th Ave. The cyclist was hit by the truck’s passenger-side rear tires, according to authorities.
Paramedics rushed Tepozteco to Maimonides Medical Center where doctors pronounced him dead.
The 29-year-old truck driver remained on the scene, police say, and no charges were immediately filed. The investigation is ongoing.
