A cyclist was killed when a pick-up truck driver rammed into her in Brooklyn Tuesday, hurling her from her bike and running over her body — before fleeing, authorities said.
Paulina Tec Choc, 29, was stopped at an intersection on Jamaica Avenue around 5:50 a.m. Tuesday when a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck smashed into her e-bike from behind, according to cops.
The impact threw the Queens woman to the ground, where she was then run over by the trucker.
Tec Choc suffered severe trauma to the head and body and was transported by EMS to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where she succumbed to her injuries, authorities said.
The motorist fled the scene at the intersection of Jamaica Avenue and Cypress Hills Street and had not been caught by Wednesday.
The investigation is ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad.
