The crash took place Saturday around 4:45 p.m., when the motorcyclist was driving a black 2013 Harley-Davidson south on the Throgs Neck Expressway by Meagher Avenue, according to the NYPD.

The 62-year-old veered left, hit a pole and slammed into a fence. An EMS took him to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
