FDNY firetruck strikes, kills cyclist outside NYC park: police
nypost.com
The truck was making a turn onto Juniper Boulevard alongside Juniper Valley Park at 4 p.m. when the fatal accident occurred.R.I.P. 
I was there literally seconds after it happened and the person who claimed to witness it said it was a boy on a bike... Terrible accident regardless
Witnesses that were there and saw it are saying a different story.
He was 50 and he crashed into the side of Rescue 4 and then ended up under the wheel. The driver was not at fault.
What can be a different story
God bless him
Tragic for the victim and the driver.
I thought he was 15?
Good news.
