An off-duty EMT for the FDNY died after crashing his motorcycle into a Hillcrest home on Sunday night.

According to police, at 10:23 p.m on Aug. 19, officers from the 107th Precinct responded to a 911 call regarding a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Utopia Parkway and 80th Drive.

Upon their arrival, they found Eric Maleh, 25, lying in front of a Utopia Parkway residence, unconscious and unresponsive.
