Philippe Haussmann Death & Obituary: Philippe Haussmann, a 29-year-old resident of Bushwick, NY, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday morning. The accident occurred at the intersection of Scott and Flushing avenues when Philippe’s motorcycle collided with the driver’s-side fender of a truck heading west through the intersection. The force of the collision ejected him from his motorcycle, and despite the quick response from paramedics, Philippe was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck remained at the location and cooperated with the authorities, and no charges have been filed.
A Tragic Series of Accidents
Philippe’s death is part of a concerning trend in the area, marking the third motorbike-related fatality in Bushwick within the past week. The community is still reeling from the loss of teenager Juared Umedjon, who died on Monday after his e-bike collided with a turning truck, and motorcyclist Carlos Rosa, who was killed last Wednesday in a collision with a Jeep. These incidents have heightened concerns about road safety, particularly for motorcyclists navigating the busy streets of Brooklyn.
