@sheriffinsight: An NYPD recruit from Brooklyn was killed when he crashed his motorcycle on the Van Wyck Expressway in Briarwood on Wednesday, October 21st. Police from the 107th Precinct responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle collision on the entrance rap of the Van Wyck Expressway from the Jackie Robinson Parkway around 6 a.m. and found the victim on the roadway. Further investigation by the NYPD Highways District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that a 21 year old male was operating a 2008 Triumph Street Triple motorcycle on the entrance ramp from the eastbound Jackie Robinson Parkway to the northbound Van Wyck Expressway when he lost control of the motorcycle and struck the cement barrier on the right, ejecting him from the motorcycle. EMS responded and transported the victim to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. He was later identified as Probationary Police Officer Caleb E. Park, from Himrod Street in Bushwick, who was traveling to the Detective Steven D. McDonald Police Academy in College Point. He was assigned to the NYPD Recruit Training Section (RTS) Command at the academy after joining the service in July. #cops #deputysheriff #highwaypatrol #lawenforcementcommunity #rip
