A motorcyclist from South Richmond Hill died after the driver of a sedan allegedly drove in front of him, causing the two to collide in South Ozone Park on Friday, according to authorities.
On Sept. 18, around 7:50 p.m., Udeshnauth Hariprasad, 40, was driving his motorcycle westbound on Linden Boulevard, according to police. As he approached 120th Street, the 30-year-old driver of a BMW 5351 sedan pulled into the intersection after stopping at the stop sign, cops said.
