https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/bicyclists"The spate of cyclist killings began shortly after the new year when a cement truck driver ran down and killed 62-year-old local Tamara Chuchi Kao. The driver was not charged.

The bloodshed also includes crashes in residential areas and busy commercial strips:

•  
  • Brooklyn mom Sarah Schick was killed 10 days into the new year when a trucker ran her over as she rode a Citi Bike. The mother-of-two died on an industrial stretch of Ninth Street where DOT had opted not to extend a protected bike lane. After activists held a “die-in,” the DOT said it would redesign the stretch, but the truck driver has not been charged.
  • Cyclist James Giambalvo was killed on a quiet street in Staten Island in February. His killer has not been brought to justice.
  • A hit-and-run driver hit delivery worker Hua Pan on April 5 in The Bronx. That driver has not been caught."
