ASTORIA, QUEENS – Authorities are investigating a fatal hit-and-run incident involving a cyclist, believed to be tied to a burglary in the area. The crash occurred at the intersection of 37th and 34th Avenue when the suspects, fleeing from the scene of the burglary, struck Amanda Servedio, 36, as she was riding her bicycle.
Surveillance footage captured the moment Servedio attempted to navigate the intersection when she was suddenly hit by a black Dodge Ram truck. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to yield to the cyclist who had the right of way.
One witness, present at the scene, recounted the harrowing moment leading up to the incident. “I saw a black SUV turn that corner really fast. There was a car in this part of the intersection, and that truck just cut off the car, ran over the lady,” he stated. Another witness recalled hearing sirens and commotion as the situation unfolded rapidly.
Following the impact, emergency responders rushed Servedio to the hospital, where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. The collision marks a tragic outcome in a series of events that began earlier that day on Crescent Street, where police responded to a report of a burglary.
