Bus Crash Kills Cyclist in First Citi Bike Fatality

A 36-year-old man riding on a Citi Bike in Manhattan was struck and killed by a bus, becoming the first fatality involving the city's four-year bike-share program. Police say Hanegby fell off the bicycle and under the bus' rear tires, and was pronounced dead a short time later at the hospital. It is not yet known what actually happened; police initially blamed the victim, saying that he was "riding between a bus and a parked vehicle outside 250 W. 26th St., near Eighth Avenue, when he lost control of his bike and fell to the street". "They were very close, the bus and him", a witness tells the New York Post.

A passerby flagged down the bus to notify the driver what happened. Gomez described Hanegby's Citi Bike as being 'mangled'.

Citi Bike, the largest bike-share program in the country, has 593 stations in New York City.

"This morning a rider on a Citi Bike bike was involved in a fatal crash", said company spokeswoman Dani Simons.
