Police say the motorcycle was traveling east on Pitkin Avenue in East New York around 10 p.m. yesterday, when it collided with a Dodge Intrepid at the intersection of Barbey Street.

The Dodge then crashed into a lamppost.

The man on the motorcycle was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. Sources tell NY1 he was an off-duty police officer.
