10-year-old cyclist killed in Brooklyn, 23rd bike-related fatality this year

A 10-year-old boy riding a bicycle was struck and killed by an unlicensed driver Saturday — just steps away from his Brooklyn home, police said.

Dalerjon Shahobiddinov was riding his orange bicycle in the crosswalk near Seton Place and Foster Avenue in Kensington at about 10:30 a.m. when he was mowed down by a man in a 2002 Ford Explorer who was making a left turn, police said.

He was just around the corner from his family’s home when he was struck, police said.

Shahobiddinov was rushed to Maimonides Hospital in critical condition with severe body trauma, but could not be saved, officials said.

The 29-year-old driver, identified by police as Victor Majia, remained on the scene and was arrested shortly after the accident, according to officials.

He was charged with motor vehicle failure to yield to a bicyclist, motor vehicle license violation, and failure to exercise due care.

The boy’s death  is the 23rd accidental bike fatality this year — more than double last year’s numbers.

Saturday’s fatal accident comes just two weeks after the death of 14-year-old teen bicyclist Mario Valenzuela in Queens, who was struck by a private sanitation truck.
