Was There a Bike Accident on Cortelyou on Sunday?

A neighbor emailed this week to say she’d heard that someone on a bike had been hit by a car on Cortelyou near the corner of Westminster this past Sunday, May 6, at about 6:30pm:

I was riding home and attempting to turn left when I was stopped by a whole lot of traffic and commotion. An FDNY firefighter told me to be careful, a guy just got hit and I asked him if it was because they were double-parked on Cortelyou…. If double-parking outside the firehouse did not cause this particular accident, it could in the future.

I’ve tried reaching out to the 70th Precinct to see if they know anything about an accident, but have not heard back. Does anyone know anything more?
