Man, woman hurled from out-of-control motorcycle that hit 4 other vehicles during NYC evening rush

A man and woman were killed when they catapulted from their out-of-control motorcycle that also hit four other vehicles on a Queens highway during the Thursday evening rush, cops said. 

The pair were on the CFMoto 650 motorcycle on the eastbound Grand Central Parkway approaching the Jackie Robinson Parkway around 6:30 p.m. when the man suddenly spun out and hit a white BMW, driven by a 28-year-old woman, police said. 

The motorcycle careened into a blue Ford Explorer with a 39-year-old man behind the wheel, police said.

At that point, both occupants were thrown from the bike, striking the pavement, cops said. 

But the motorcycle kept moving, hitting a Chevrolet Express van operated by a 37-year-old man and a Chrysler Town and Country minivan with a 73-year-old male driver, authorities said.

The motorcycle driver suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS workers, while the passenger was rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she too did not survive, police said. 

Both remained unidentified Friday, with neither their names nor their ages released.

Their relationship to each other is also unclear.
