A 28-year-old man is dead after crashing his motorcycle into a brick wall in the Utopia section of Queens just after midnight Wednesday morning.

Thomas Hardy, of St. Albans, was riding his 2021 Honda CBR 650R motorcycle along Utopia Parkway at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the bike at around 12:40 a.m. and slammed into a brick wall fence. The wall surrounded a house at the corner of Jewel Avenue and Utopia Parkway.

Hardy was thrown off his motorcycle and landed within the confines of a residential yard. He was found unconscious and unresponsive, lying on the ground with head and body trauma.

EMS responded to the scene and transported him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital- Queens, where he was pronounced deceased.

There were no other vehicles involved in the crash and no one else hurt.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents.
