Fatal Collision Sends Shockwaves Through Community as Promising Grad Student?s Life Cut Short With Tragic Bicycle Accident

Cycling is something that is truly beneficial to one’s health but unlike most other forms of exercise, it doesn’t always guarantee a safety net. Outdoor cycling involves the risk of factors beyond the rider’s control and more often than not, it can be fatal. Case in point- the story of one Nijad Huseynov, who had to be rushed to the hospital after being hit by a car.

According to reports, Huseynov was cycling eastbound in the 1700 block of L Street NW. As a matter of fact, he was in the bicycle lane on Oct. 17, when the accident took place. A silver 2014 Toyota Camry going northbound on Connecticut Avenue found Huseynov, resulting in a crash that would eventually end his life.
