A man who was riding his motorcycle on the Queensboro Bridge yesterday was killed after a crash involving a box truck, according to police.

Kevin Santiago, 26, was riding his motorcycle into Manhattan on the lower level of the bridge when he apparently lost his balance and struck a box truck heading the same direction at around 5:30 p.m., police say.

An NYPD spokesperson said Santiago was observed losing his balance and he rode between two vehicles, and was subsequently swept under a box truck.

Santiago was taken to Cornell Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
