A Sunset Park cyclist died April 17 after
a passing box truck struck him in
Borough Park.
Pedro Tepozteco, 26, was riding his
bike on 47th Street at 5:30 p.m., when
cops say he “fell into the truck” as it
attempted to pass him near the intersection
of 17th Avenue. The cyclist was
hit by the truck’s passenger-side rear
tires, according to authorities.
Paramedics rushed Tepozteco to
Maimonides Medical Center where
doctors pronounced him dead.
The 29-year-old truck driver remained
on the scene, police say, and
no charges were immediately fi led.
The investigation is ongoing.

Call it the school of hard knocks.
A pair of local parents blasted honchos
at a Gravesend elementary school
after their 5-year-old son wandered two
miles away from the learning house
and was missing for an hour earlier
this month, according to ABC7 .
The boy’s disappearance was a harrowing
experience for his parents, his
mother told the news channel.
“I don’t want no one sic suffer what
I suffer that day,” said Casilda Mesa.
Five-year-old Juan Francisco Reynoso
Mesa exited Coney Island Prep
Elementary School — which is housed
inside IS 281 on 24th Avenue between
Bath and Cropsey avenues — through
a door without an alarm at around 4:10
p.m. on April 3, when the school’s bus
broke down and staffers called students’
parents to pick them up, according
to ABC7.
Mesa’s father, Julio Reynoso, arrived
at the school shortly after 4 p.m.,
but became alarmed after his son had
not come to the main lobby after 15
minutes, ABC7 reported.
The school’s safety agent then told
staffers that he didn’t know how to
check the security cameras or which
alarm would have gone off had the
boy left, prompting administrators to
begin frantically searching the area,
according to ABC7, which added that
both the school’s director of operations
and Mesa’s mother called 911.
A good Samaritan found the youngster
two miles away — at 75th Street
and 16th Avenue — about an hour after
he disappeared, at 5:13 p.m., and
Mesa was reunited with his parents
at around 5:30 p.m., the news outlet reported.
ABC7 added that Mesa’s parents
pulled him out of school the following
day, and were considering fi ling a lawsuit
against the school for the “pain
and suffering” they experienced.
Reynoso, Mesa, and their lawyer,
William Ferro, could not be reached
by press time. Reps for Coney Island
Prep did not respond to inquiries by
press time.
