EMS responded and transported Laurie, who is from Cobble Hill, to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst where he was pronounced deceased.

MASPETH LIVES MATTER

Good riddance. Clowns like this, who think that public roads are a racetrack for them to show off their crotch-rockets, deserve the results. Queens is that much safer because he is no longer around. Zero remorse for these types. Happy for all the lives he will not be able to ruin now with his reckless behavior.

How many more motorcyclists are going to die because of speeding? I live on a main street in Queens and between motorcycles and the cars that sound like motorcycles, I’m sick of the speeding (not to mention the middle of the night noise)!
