Ten year old Shamar Porter was biking home from a Little League game when a red van fatally hit him yesterday evening. Porter had been biking near where Williams Avenue meets Linden Boulevard (map)when the car hit him; he was taken to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save him. His team, the Brownsville Rec Center's Athletics, had just advanced to the championship game. The driver, who remained at the scene, was not charged, though a mob of people tried to remove him from the car.

That would be "killed by person driving car", not "killed by car".
another irresponsible cyclist gets what he deserves?
b/f all the a-holes get up here and start railing against cyclists (and kids on bikes), please take a momnet to remember this youth and another, andre anderson, killed recently by drivers in the outer boroughs. these kids were cut short due to the mistakes of drivers, who (of course) were not cited b/c they were doing nothing "wrong"... try telling that to the crowd of bystanders who witnessed this accident. there is something wrong with the transportation culture here (and across the US) - people drive too much, too fast and take for granted the immense power and danger that the auto imparts. people get killed as a result.
Wasn't another child killed on their bike earlier this summer on Rockaway parkway? Right in the same neighborhood?
