Last night, Xing Long Lin was struck and killed by a reckless driver in Astoria

He was a deliveryman for Watawa Sushi & the sole breadwinner for his family

We are raising $10k to support his wife & two kids for funeral expenses & their immediate needs https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-xing-long-lin?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1">https://www.gofundme.com/f/support...

He was killed when a driver entered the 35th St. bike lane to pass another car.

The driver hit Xing, dragging his body & scooter under her car, as she barreled through Rosatoro& #39;s outdoor dining structure, where she also injured a diner.

This is what it looked like this morning.

Xing was only 37 years old

A Chinese immigrant, he came to this country 14 years ago to provide for his wife and two children (ages 5 & 9)

He had been working as a deliveryman for Watawa Sushi for the past 1.5 months. This new job was vital, he was his family& #39;s sole breadwinner

He loved music & tried to deliver as much as he could to provide for his family here, as well as his mother and father who live in China.

I am heartbroken by Xing’s death.

These are his belongings that were found this morning outside Rosatoros.

Xellea Samonte a 23yo bicyclist was killed on 35th st. in 2018

Alfredo Cabrera Licona, another deliveryman, was killed in Nov

Last night, we lost Xing

These are not isolated incidents, they are deaths caused by our city’s failure to adequately protect pedestrians & bicyclists

Later, I will share more about the policies that have failed us and Xing

But, in the wake of Xing’s death, we must stand in solidarity with his family, as they struggle to go on without the husband, father, and breadwinner they loved and leaned on https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-xing-long-lin?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1">https://www.gofundme.com/f/support...
