Queens E-Bike Rider Killed in Collision with SUV: A Growing Crisis on NYC Streets

From the E-Bike Accident Attorneys at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf

Another fatal e-bike crash has claimed the life of a Queens resident, underscoring the rising dangers faced by cyclists and micromobility users on New York City streets. Zhao Feng Zhen, a 55-year-old woman from Bayside, was tragically killed on July 31, 2025, after an SUV struck her while both vehicles were traveling southbound on Hollis Court Boulevard in Queens Village.

According to NYPD reports, the fatal crash occurred just after 2:00 p.m. when a 2015 Nissan Rogue driven by a 62-year-old woman collided with Ms. Zhen’s e-bike near 50th Avenue. The impact ejected the victim from her e-bike, causing severe chest trauma. EMS transported her to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad is still investigating. No arrests have been made.

As e-bike accident attorneys representing victims and their families throughout New York City, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating these crashes can be—and how frequently they could have been prevented. The circumstances of this collision raise serious questions about driver attentiveness, right-of-way violations, and whether the SUV was attempting a turn or lane change at the time of impact.

Unfortunately, incidents like this are becoming more common. NYPD statistics show that e-bike collisions have risen over 25% compared to last year, with fatal outcomes often involving larger vehicles like SUVs. While the City has begun to propose new regulations targeting e-bike delivery operations, little is being done to curb the behavior of reckless drivers who too often walk away without accountability.
