No, but there was another fatal accident recently on E 129th St near Harlem River Drive. From
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/29/ny...t-police.html:
A police spokesman said he did not know whether Dr. Musatov, who earned his doctoral degree from Saint Petersburg State University in Russia in 1998, had been wearing a helmet.
Does this matter? Journalists always ask this question, and to me it seems tantamount to blaming the victim.
