A drunk driver fatally
struck a man who was riding
an e-bike in Canarsie on
June 9, according to authorities.
Police arrested 22-yearold
Treasure Liggins, who
was allegedly speeding
along Avenue D at around
10:30 p.m., when she lost control
of the vehicle and struck
29-year-old Mohammed Abdullah
near the intersection
of E. 105th Street. After hitting
the e-biker, Liggins proceeded
to strike the side of a
building, cops said.
Liggins, who later failed a
sobriety test, had been traveling
with a 4-year-old child
in the rear passenger seat,
according to investigators.
Emergency first responders
arrived on the scene and
took Abdullah, who suffered
severe trauma to the
head and body, to Brookdale
Hospital, where doctors pronounced
him dead. Liggins
and the child were taken
to Kings County Hospital
where they were treated for
minor injuries, according to
authorities.
Following the gruesome
crash, police charged Liggins
with vehicular manslaughter,
criminally negligent
homicide, acting in a
manner injurious to a child
and driving while intoxicated,
among other charges.
Abdullah’s death marks
the 11th cyclist killed in the
city this year , and the ninth
in Brooklyn. The total 2019
fatalities has already surpassed
the 10 total cyclist
deaths throughout all of
2018, according to city data .
Sunday evening’s fatality
marks the fourth Brooklynite
killed in car-crash
related incidents this weekend,
after two people struck
a traffic pole in Marine
Park, and a pedestrian was
struck by a car in a Bath
Beach crosswalk.
