BELOVED POLITICAL PROFESSIONAL FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE AFTER BROOKLYN BIKE CRASH
PARK SLOPE — A WELL-KNOWN AND BELOVED POLITICAL PR PROFESSIONAL is fighting for his life with traumatic brain injury after he was hit by a car while riding his bike in Park Slope on Friday, according to reports in Patch and a gofundme set up by his friends. Jacob Priley, 30, was in critical condition Sunday, days after a crash knocked him off his bike on Fifth Avenue near Union Street about 7:30 p.m. Priley, on a green light, made an “abrupt left turn” onto Union Street — colliding with an SUV on Fifth Avenue which also had a green light, NYPD told Patch.
Priley, an account supervisor with BerlinRosen, recently worked as chief of staff for state Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal. The gofundme, which has raised more than $79,000 as of Monday, can be found online.
