It was a motorcycle . I was there about the same time as the cops arrived about 920 . when I came back that way at 1030 it was all cleaned up . The bike was chained to the poll on Ave w .

I was driving by the accident probably right when it first happened around 8:00-8:30. There was no police yet, and I saw him lying on the floor with people surrounding him. He did not have a helmet on he was laying in the right hand lane on his side with the rear part of his head exposed. His head was split open. My cousin later went out when the police were there around 9:30 and someone told him the guy didn’t make it. I heard how much of the area had been shut down, yet I can’t find anything anywhere on the news. Very Strange.

It’s my understanding that when there is an accident in NYC and there is a fatality or a good chance that someone will die from their injuries, the accident site is secured by the PD so that their Highway Patrol unit can respond and conduct a thorough accident investigation.

I was passing around 7:00 (arrived at a friends on Shore at 7:04) and I had to stop to let the fire trucks pass. I saw him down and it was really upseting. I have been looking for the news story for the last two days. It couldnt have happened at 4 because I passed there around 5 and it was fine.

I’m related to the victim in this accident. He is a NYC police Officer. Just graduated in December. He is in his early 20′s about 24. He was riding in the left lane down Knapp street when a motor vehicle who was in the right lane cut him off and made an illegal left. The car cut right in front of him and he went right into the back of the car. It happened so fast he had no time to step on the brakes. He was wearing his helmet. It was NOT a fatal accident. He is in an induced coma at the hospital. He has swelling in his brain and long list of bodily injuries. As of now he is fighting for his with the police department and family by his side. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He really needs them.

My brother and I who grew up in the area and now live in Rhode Island and New Hampshire were driving by. We saw the scene and people were just standing by. We stopped as we are both firefighters and my brother is a first responder. My brother grabbed his first aid bag and we offered whatever assistance we could for the victim. His father was with him. Fire department and EMS arrived shortly thereafter at which point we left. We hope he recovers and he is on our thoughts.

Any idea how Michael is doing? I along with my brother were on the scene visiting my dad in GB. We are both volunteer firefighters and tried to do what we could. FD showed up right after we got there.

Thanks for everyone’s concern and prayers. Mike is still unconcious, but he is still hanging in there. He is a tough kid. His sisters have been tireless in taking care of family matters, housekeeping, working, and spending time with their brother everyday. Mike’s NYPD family and my FDNY family have been incredible in their support enabling my wife and myself to concentrate on getting Mike well.
