Out of curiousity, who is (was?) Eric Ng?

22 yrs old, recent nyu grad, volunteer at time's up, nyc teaching fellow.
killed by a drunk driver who left chelsea piers last fri night after a company xmas party, and drove at speed down the BIKE PATH, hitting eric head on, sending his bike and one of his shoes out onto the road he was supposed to be driving on in the first place.

edit: he's the SECOND person killed by a motorist on a completely separated bike path this year.

How terribly sad. I hope that driver is duly punished.

Thank you for posting, Nick.
