Police are searching for the driver of a BMW who struck and killed a Glendale man riding a bicycle in Brooklyn early Wednesday morning and sent two others to the hospital, the NYPD said.
The Police Department said Angel Torres, 46, of Glendale, was hit by a 2014 BMW in the intersection of Broadway and Halsey Street around 7:50 a.m. Wednesday.

After turning right on Thomas Boyland Street, police said the BMW crashed into a 2000, Toyota 4-Runner pulling out of a driveway near Chauncey Street.
The two people in the Toyota were brought to Woodhull Hospital in stable condition, according to the NYPD.
