Driver charged with manslaughter, homicide in cyclist’s death
A Queens man was charged Wednesday with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, among other charges, for allegedly causing a car crash Aug. 12 that killed a cyclist on a Coney Island Avenue in Midwood.
Jose Alzorriz, 52, had just pulled up to a red light on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue L when 18-year-old Mirza Baig sped at more than 60 miles per hour through the steady red light in his 2019 Dodge Charger, according to prosecutors. Baig had been heading in the opposite direction down Coney Island Avenue when he smashed into an eastbound Honda Pilot that had a green light. The Honda collided with Alzorriz, who was pinned between the car and brick wall, and died, according to prosecutors. A pedestrian also suffered injuries to the leg.
The driver of the Honda suffered internal bleeding and spine trauma, according to the DA.
Baig was booked with a 17-count indictment Wednesday by the Brooklyn District Attorney for manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, vehicular assault, reckless driving, speeding and a host of other charges.
“This tragic case illustrates the dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians when drivers choose to recklessly ignore the rules of the road,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez in a statement. “I urge all motorists to obey the speed limit, follow all traffic laws and yield the right of way to those who share our streets. If they don’t, they might take a life in an instant – and face serious criminal charges.”
He was originally taken into custody after the crash, but was not charged him with any crime that day, leaving family members and the cyclist community outraged.
Graphic dash cam footage of the accident shows the moments leading up the crash and the split-second Alzorriz has to react before he is hit. Other surveillance footage posted to Twitter shows the car crash, though Alzorriz is not in the frame.

A car can be a weapon, I've always thought like that even as teenager.
