Bus driver found guilty in Citi Bike death

NEW YORK (AP) — The driver of a charter bus that fatally struck an investment banker riding a Citi Bike in Manhattan last year, marking the first death involving the city's bike-share program, has been found guilty of failing to yield the right of way, a misdemeanor.

Dave Lewis was also convicted of failure to exercise due care, a violation, at a bench trial on Monday.

Thirty-six-year-old Dan Hanegby, of Brooklyn, was riding in the Chelsea neighborhood when he collided with the bus, fell from the bike and was run over. Lewis remained at the scene.

The New York Times reports that lawyers for Lewis noted that Hanegby was wearing headphones and was "completely and totally unaware" of his surroundings.
