Police have identified the 29-year-old motorcyclist killed in a crash on Shore Parkway Sunday night, as Besim Muminovic of Astoria, Queens.
Police say the crash happened just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday night.
Investigators with the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that a 2018 Mercedes-Benz was traveling westbound Belt Parkway, when it attempted to exit at Exit 7B (Ocean Parkway), and collided with Muminovic, who was riding a 2024 Yamaha YZF-R1 in the right-hand lane.
Video shows the Mercedes slamming into multiple parked cars and flipping multiple times.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead that night at the hospital.
A 22-year-old passenger in the Mercedes also died from his injuries.
The driver of the Mercedes fled the scene and remains at large. Police sources tell News 12 they believe the vehicle may have been stolen from New Jersey, and the investigation is ongoing.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the Mercedes, the driver or the crash to contact the NYPD.
