Nurse killed by motorcycle remembered at vigil
A vigil was held in Sunset Park Tuesday for Clara Kang, a nurse at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn who was killed in a collision with a motorcyclist Saturday.
Kang, 31, was riding her bicycle east on 56th Street when she collided with a man driving a 2018 Suzuki GSZ-R north on Third Avenue. She was pronounced dead at NYU Langone. The motorcyclist, 29, was also taken to NYU Langone, with trauma to his head and body. He was listed in critical but stable condition. No arrests have been made.
Family, friends, elected officials and members of the community gathered at Martin Luther Playground on Second Avenue and 55th Street to honor Kang and call for solutions to the traffic situation on Third Avenue.
