Three men in a Dodge Ram were being chased for suspected burglary, police said.
Police are looking for three men they say fatally struck a woman on a bicycle during a police chase in Queens Tuesday night.
NYPD officials say police were trying to pull over a Dodge Ram pick-up truck in Astoria at around 11 p.m., because it was wanted in connection to a burglary. The driver sped away, and careened into the cyclist at the intersection of 37th Street and 34th Avenue, according to police. He and two passengers allegedly jumped out of the truck and ran away.
The woman was taken to Elmhurst Hospital and pronounced dead.
