A 22-year-old moped rider died after colliding with a car driven by a drunk unlicensed driver in Brooklyn, police said Sunday.
Joel Mota was zipping south on Third Ave. in Bay Ridge when he crashed into the passenger-side door of a 2013 Acura TSX going west on 67th St. about 4:45 a.m. Saturday, cops said.
Mota died at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn from head and torso injuries, police said.
He was just a few blocks from home when he crashed and had a 21-year-old man as a passenger on the gas-powered moped.
His passenger suffered multiple fractures to his left arm and leg and was listed at the same hospital in stable condition, cops said.
Police arrested the Acura driver, 29-year-old Leslie Moreno, for driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired and being unlicensed.
