A St. Albans man was struck and killed while cycling in Cambria Heights on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 22, according to authorities.
Police from the 105th Precinct responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision at the intersection of 115th Avenue and 227th Street and found Emile Edwards, 36, of 197th Street, lying injured on the residential roadway.
