A 24-year-old Rego Park man was killed Monday afternoon in a motorcycle crash near an exit of the Clearview Expressway, according to authorities.

The victim, identified by police as David Duran, was riding his bike westbound on 73rd Avenue in Fresh Meadows just after 4 p.m. when the accident happened, cops said.

A Mazda Miata was stopped on 73rd Avenue just west of the southbound exit of the Clearview Expressway and attempted to make a U-turn. At that time, Duran began to skid and his motorcycle turned onto its side before hitting the left side of the Mazda, according to police.

Duran was taken to New York Hospital Queens, where he was pronounced dead.

There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, authorities said.
