Security video shows the teen on the bike on 21st Street. At some point detectives say he appeared to ride diagonally across the intersection near 21st Avenue when he was struck by a BMW SUV heading southbound.Another man ran out of a nearby supermarket to try to help.
"There was a guy already like checking his pulse on his wrist, but he was like, 'It's very little, very little,'" the man said."So I put my ear directly on his chest."Police say the SUV was found unoccupied a short time later at 23rd Street and 22nd Drive. The driver, 18-year-old Yaser Ibrahim of Levittown, was identified and then taken into custody.
"Jaydan just was a pleasant young man," a neighbor said."If you ever see Jaydan, he always had a basketball on his back.""He'd help anybody. He helped the elderly. He gives back to the community," the neighbor said."To see a young man's life taken so early. You know, he didn't get to see life and enjoy life. It's heartbreaking."
officers and Department of Transportation workers were at the scene Tuesday talking to bicyclists about safety.
