+== Two Dead After Illegal Scooter Rider And Cyclist Crash On Queensboro Bridge ==
+Street safety advocates have been criticizing city officials for failing to fully grasp the dangers of e-motos and illegal stand-up scooters for years.

+Two people died in a head-on crash on the Queensboro Bridge bike lane between the rider of an illegal e-scooter with a top speed of 50 miles per hour and a cyclist, underscoring the need for enforcement against illegal, super-fast micromobility vehicles.
+According to the NYPD, the 39-year-old rider of the illegal scooter was headed up hill from Queens at around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday when he struck the 35-year-old cyclist traveling downhill into Queens head. Both men were taken to NewYork-Presbyterian where they died. (The NYPD has not released the victims’ names, but a police source ID’d the men as Francis Delball on the scooter and Dmytro Stechenko on the bike.)
+Pictures posted to Reddit after the crash show a carbon-fiber Factor road bike cracked in half and the illegal scooter in the debris:
