    Police said that the boy was riding his bicycle just after 5:30 when he was struck by a vehicle after he swerved to avoid the opening door of a parked car. Rescue crews rushed to the scene, where the overturned bicycle could be seen laying on the roadway.

    He was transported to Maimonides Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

    From photos circulating on social media it appears the boy was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

    Ban bikes? There have been a lot of accidents involving bicycles lately. Do they belong in the street?

    This is a terrible tragedy, but it seems like it was an accident – that’s what an accident is, a bad confluence of events.
    Who is at fault – the driver of the parked car who should have checked his sideview mirror more careful to see the boy on the bike, the boy who wanted to avoid the opening door, the car who was going straight in his lane and didn’t expect the boy to swerve?
    There’s enough blame to go around, or, sometimes no one is particularly at fault.
