The victim died last month at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
According to investigators, on Sunday, Sept. 21, at around 4:20 p.m., police responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of 103rd Avenue and 117th Street. Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that an e-bike, operated by Mora, was traveling westbound on 103rd Avenue approaching 117th Street. A 2011 Nissan Maxima sedan, operated by a 30-year-old man, was parked along the north curb-line on 103rd Avenue. The driver opened the front left driver-side door of the sedan, striking the e-bike operator. Mora was thrown to the roadway and sustained trauma to the head. EMS responded and rushed him to Jamaica Hospital. No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad.
