Long Island Dad Dies In Hit-And-Run Motorcycle Accident

Have you seen a damaged early-to-mid-90s Buick Century in the Nassau area in the last week? Police are searching for the perpetrator of a deadly hit-and-run accident in Long Island on Sunday, in which a local motorcycle rider was left for dead.

New York Police say that 46-year-old John Deiker of Franklin Square was struck while riding northbound on Commonwealth Street near the intersection of Naple Avenue a few minutes before noon. While the driver of the car that struck him immediately fled the scene, Deiker was left in the middle of the intersection suffering from severe internal injuries. He died a short time after being found at Franklin General Hospital. Dieker, who was on his way home in order to attend the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Show with his family and two children, was not wearing a helmet at the time of his accident. He was just yards away from his house at the time of the accident.

Police have turned their efforts to finding the person who struck the motorcycle in Franklin Square, but only have some information, such as the make of the car, from witnesses. They are not willing to say that alcohol, speed, reckless driving, or weather was a factor in the deadly NYC motorcycle crash.

Anyone who has information about this Long Island hit-and-run should immediately call the Nassau County Police Homicide Squad or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
