A 65-year-old Bayside man died in the hospital after his motorcycle and another motorcycle collided in Astoria Saturday.

Stylianos Berios was riding his 2003 American Ironhorse motorcycle southbound on 31st Street, when a 30-year-old man driving a green 2011 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound on the street, made a left turn onto 36th Avenue and collided with him just before noon, police said.

Both men were ejected from their bikes and landed on the pavement. Berios had head trauma and the 30-year-old suffered injuries to his face, police said.

They were each taken to area hospitals and Berios succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, according to police.

The investigation is ongoing.

There have been so many deaths from motorcyclists speeding. It’s a senseless death that is avoidable. In my area in Queens there are cars with double mufflers and the stupid people driving them speed as if they are motorcycles. The only good thing about the early days of covid was that there weren’t a lot of cars on the road.

Whether on a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle you really need 3 eyes looking around you when on the streets and not surrounded by a ton of steel.
I wish the other rider a successful recovery.

Op-Ed | Four years after Hurricane Ida, Queens deserves real climate resilience

Sep. 2, 2025 By Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas

Four years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through our neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, leaving behind devastation we will never forget. We lost neighbors to the floodwaters. Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
