Now I want you to take a look at some videos showing
the scene out here last night.
You can see it there. Investigators were here on Nostrand Avenue.
This is just off of Atlantic Avenue,
where you catch the Long Island Railroad.
In the video, you can also see what looks like
a bike lying there in the street.
Police say someone driving a white Hyundai Elantra
was heading south on Nostrand.
That was around 7.35 last night when they hit the man.
Investigators say he was riding a two-wheel vehicle,
but they haven't said what kind.
We're told he suffered severe head injuries.
Police tell us that driver kept going south here on Nostrand.
