A man was killed after crashing his motorcycle into a wall in a parking lot on Randall’s Island Thursday evening, according to police and sources.
The 40-year-old was riding a Harley-Davidson when he “failed to navigate the roadway” and hit the wall below an underpass in the Manhattan park’s Icahn Lot D just after 6:30 p.m.
EMS responded and pronounced the driver dead at the scene, cops said. His name is being withheld pending family notification.
No other vehicles were involved and no other injuries were reported.
Police said the crash remains under investigation.
Randall’s Island made headlines earlier this week after NYPD officers raided an illegal migrant encampment and open-air market peddling drugs.
Cops descended on the trash-strewn, violence-ridden encampment outside the island’s city-funded 3,000-bed mega-shelter, where some migrants had been living spread out among at least 50 tents.
More than 80 uniformed personnel — NYPD, FDNY and parks department cops and workers — returned to the camp on Thursday where they continued to clear out migrants who refused to leave.
Authorities also seized 11 mopeds, 11 empty tents, seven shopping carts, and shut down five illegal vending tables.
The migrant camp has also seen a recent surge in violence.
A 26-year-old migrant was stabbed to death just outside of the city camp on Sunday morning, police said.
Two weeks earlier, Venezuelan migrant mom Sandra Serrano, 44, was fatally shot in the face and back by a moped-riding gunman who also struck two others at a parking lot on the island, authorities said.
The driver killed in Thursday night’s crash was not a migrant, sources told The Post.
