Nina Kapur, a 26-year-old reporter in New York City, died after she fell from a moped that had been rented from Revel, a popular moped sharing service.
Kapur was riding on the back of a Revel rental scooter that was being driven by a 26-year-old man when he "swerved for an unknown reason" Saturday evening in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, according to NYPD spokeswoman Denise Moroney.
Kapur and the driver fell to the roadway, and while the driver sustained minor injuries, Kapur was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
The investigation is ongoing, Moroney said. Neither were wearing helmets.

Pretty cute too. What a waste of a hot babe.
Swerved for an unknown reason. I am paranoid so I always wonder what the hidden angle is.
Similar to the electric scooter rentals that have popped up nationwide, people can use a Revel moped by simply downloading an app and unlocking the nearest one for $1. They’re currently available in New York, Austin, Texas, Miami, Oakland, California, and Washington D.C. Anyone over 21 and with a valid license can drive one.
Revels only go up to 30 miles per hour and riding on highways and major bridges is not allowed, according to Revel’s website. Helmets, which the company says are cleaned “with COVID-19-effective disinfectants,” are provided in the trunk of the moped.
What is sad about a fallen enemy? She’d have jammed an ice pick in your ear if given the chance.
Let me guess -- the Revel employee who rented her the moped was wearing a MAGA hat.
I’m guessing excessive self-confidence leading to excessive speed, resulting in disaster due to NYC’s crappy roads and random drivers and pedestrians alike.
“Neither were wearing helmets.”
That will do it.
Having posting, cutting and pasting problems - need a new laptop.
Sorry.
One down.
It’s called “walking”, People! Try it some time!
[Pretty cute too. What a waste of a hot babe.]
Nah, not at all suspicious.
“What is sad about a fallen enemy? Shed have jammed an ice pick in your ear if given the chance.”
I agree.
You’re right. One less RAT
Very sad.
Greenpoint is an up and coming hipster area of Blynn.
Not really. Chicks with giant schnozzes end up looking like helen thomas by the time they're 30.
God’s the boss.
Maybe for some reason it was her time.
I dunno.
If this is a brief testing grounds, then in the big picture she just got to Heaven earlier.
The families and friends get crushed.
If this is indeed all there is, then it’s pretty horrible.
