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.

Who wanted to stay with her past a night or two?

But that was a pretty funny comment.

She must’ve discovered some concrete evidence against the Clintons.

Neither were wearing helmets.

I spent some time in SE Asia, where riding small motorcycles and scooters was/is the way that average people got around.

Be on the roads enough there, and you are guaranteed to drive by some horrific motorbike accidents. Heads without helmets that look like shattered watermelons was a common sight.

Why are mopeds and fat chicks alike?

[Jonty30]

People will do that?
Clean the equipment after they use it without being watched?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wow, very sad.

[dp0622]

Yes a hotbed of blm and antifa worshipers and I assure you that they HATE you and me.

It’s right over the bridge. I know the area.

You can take that to the bank

Are these things made for two riders? When I think of a Moped its usually one person on it.

People don’t understand what the helmets are for. They are to protect your head from the fall, not from the speed of motorcycle/moped. Perhaps counter-intuitively, going faster doesn’t make you fall faster—10 mph, 100 mph gravity doesn’t care. Now going faster might well mean your head will hit the ground or something else, several more times if you’re going fast and the helmet might or might not protect in that case.

Whatever her politics were, this has caused her parents untold and lifelong grief.

She had very striking and beautiful eyes.

[sport]

I agree. Or stuck a knife between your shoulder blades.

Kapur was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead - of CV19.

Fixed

Mopeds are one of the stupidest inventions ever invented by man

Either ride a mountain bike with big knobby tires and shocks

or if you want to be a real big boy- get a real motorcycle with a license plate ; wear a helmet and full gear - and then get on the road

I can’t even tell you how many Moped, electric scooter , and skateboard fatalities or serious serious injuries I have known about in my life

My advice was my first get a mountain bike with big knobby tires and shocks and even then , still wear a helmet

This poor girl probably only died because she was not wearing a helmet it’s really that simple

[cranked]

I’m giving a sh*t how?

#7: "What is sad about a fallen enemy? She’d have jammed an ice pick in your ear if given the chance."

Right you are! I have no sympathy for the devil.
 

[MayflowerMadam]

A CBS reporter? Well, that’s a good start.

[Veggie Todd]

Helmets aren’t for you. You wear one to protect other people.

What is sad about a fallen enemy? She’d have jammed an ice pick in your ear if given the chance.

Pretty classless thing to say. Oh well, it takes all kinds to make the world go round.
