A 32-year-old man riding an e-bike through Manhattan’s Riverside Park has died after he crashed into a bench, police said Wednesday.
Jacobo Villano Pardo was riding his bike along the Henry Hudson Parkway bike lane inside the Upper West Side park when he struck a park bench near W. 94th St. about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, witnesses told police.
He was thrown from his bike and landed on the bike path, cops said.
Medics rushed Pardo to Mount Sinai Morningside with a head injury. He died at the hospital a short time later, cops said.
