New York, NY (NewYorkInjuryNews.com)–East Flatbush’s 67th Precinct lost an officer Sunday in a fatal motorcycle accident. New York (CBS) reported a 29 year-old off-duty Brooklyn Police Officer was riding his Yamaha motorcycle down Pitkin Avenue when a Dodge Intrepid car hit him. The Dodge car was heading south on Barbey Street, as it entered the intersection of Barbey and Pitkin, in the Brownsville section of the New York borough, and struck the Yamaha motorcycle the officer was riding.

The critically injured motorcyclist was transported by emergency medical personnel to Brookdale Hospital for treatment by doctors and nurses in the emergency department. The off-duty Brooklyn police officer died from his injuries in the motorcycle crash.
