Cyclist injured after smashing into open car door Downtown
#Brooklyn - Paramedics took an injured cyclist to the hospital on Monday after someone doored him on Jay Street in #DowntownBrooklyn. The biker was coming down the bustling thoroughfare, headed towards the #BrooklynBridge, and slammed into a parked car’s open passenger side door when he cycled from the street into the bike lane between two potted plants at the corner of Willoughby Street just before 3:30 pm, according to a witness at the scene.
“He opened the door and he was driving in fast into that lane,” said Joe, who didn’t want to give her last name. Paramedics rushed to the scene and helped the guy, who was limping as they guided him to the ambulance.
