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 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.’

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.
This is the first in 43 million rides taken so far, that a Citi Bike rider has been involved in a fatal accident in New York City since the program was first unveiled in May 2013

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
