Surveillance video has been released showing the tragic moment a New York man riding a Citi Bike was struck and killed by a bus last year.
Dan Hanegby, 36, of Brooklyn, was killed on June 12, 2017 in a collision with a bus while biking down a narrow West 26th street in Chelsea.
Footage of the crash was shown in court and released to the New York Post on Thursday, and shows Hanegby riding in the street next to a white van. As he pedals, a Coach USA bus approaches trapping the father-of-two between the two vehicles.
Authorities said Hanegby lost his balance and fell over as the bus was going by. He was run over by the bus’s rear wheels.
The video shows Hanegby roll over to his side, remove his backpack and then fall on his back. He lifts his right hand over his head as witnesses rush over to help him.
Hanegy, an investment banker born in Israel, was wearing large over-the-ear headphones at the time of the crash and did not have on a helmet. He seemed unaware that the bus was approaching.

The video was released a little over a year after Hanegby was killed in June 2017
Hanegby, 36, of Brooklyn, was an investment banker born in Israel. He had two children
The bus is seen in the video stopping up the street from where the accident occurred. The driver, Dave Lewis, stayed at the scene until police arrived.
Hangeby was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Lewis, 51, was charged with a misdemeanor and causing physical injury by failing to observe right of way.
His lawyer Jeremy Saland blamed the tragic accident on Hanegby telling a judge that he wasn’t paying attention and the headphones blocked out the sound of the bus’s horn.
Prosecutors argue that Lewis acted recklessly when he tried to squeeze the 50,000-pound bus past Hanegby. They also say he did not slow down before the crash.
‘After appreciating the situation, he didn’t stop,’ Raffaela Belizaire told Judge Heidi Cesare. ‘It was dangerous to try to pass, to try to squeeze through.’
It appears that Hanegby did not know the bus was approaching, even though the driver used his horn

Hanegby’s death marked the first time a biker using the Citi Bike ride-share program was killed in New York City since it was introduced in 2013.
Hanegby's death is only the second time that a bike share user has been killed since 2010, when the first bike-sharing system was introduced in the US. The first person to be killed was Virginia Murray, who was hit by a flatbed truck in Chicago in July 2016.
Hanegby, a director of investment banking at Credit Suisse, was born and raised near Tel Aviv, Israel, and served in the Israeli Defense Forces from 1999-2002. The avid tennis player, who was once ranked No. 1 in Israel, moved to the US for college, ultimately graduating from Brown University, where he was captain of the men's tennis team.
He was married with two children.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
