Pregnant woman, unborn child killed on Roosevelt Blvd.

She was eight months pregnant, a single mother who lived in a small, well-kept house with her parents and five-year-old son, where religious statues decorate the shaded yard and her son's red and blue bicycle, still with its training wheels on, sits on the porch.

Some days, she'd sit on her back steps blowing bubbles with her son or clapping along as he splashed in a plastic Kiddie pool. Petite and pretty, with big brown eyes and a wide smile, she was excited to be a mother again, her neighbors said.

Stunned family and neighbors struggled to grasp the loss of Giselle Moya, a 28-year-old Rhawnhurst woman struck and tragically killed Monday night by a northbound motorcyclist as she attempted to cross Roosevelt Boulevard near Lexington Avenue.

"I am sick, I cannot believe this happened," said her distraught father, Eduardo Moya, who spoke briefly to reporters while clutching photos of his daughter. He then excused himself, having to go to the police station for more information about her death

Moya, who was apparently walking to her home on the 2200 block of Faunce Street, just a few blocks away from the accident scene, died shortly at Albert Einstein Medical Center after being hit.

Doctors could not save her unborn child.

The 25-year-old motorcyclist suffered a broken leg and head injuries and was in stable condition, police said.

Police motor vehicle accident experts were still investigating Tuesday evening and no charges have been filed.

Moya's family said they did not know yet where Moya was coming from when she was hit.

"Details are vague right now," said a man who identified himself as Moya's uncle when reached by phone at the family home late Tuesday afternoon. "We are still trying to add everything up. We are in shock."

It was around 9:30 p.m. Monday when Moya tried to cross the 12 lanes of traffic near a marked pedestrian walkway on a block that leads to Faunce Street, police said. She was hit in the inner lanes. There is no stoplight at the crossing, though there is one a few hundred yards north at Ryan Avenue.

Despite the crosswalk, the stretch of roadway seems a particularly dangerous place for pedestrians to walk. The crosswalk is painted in the middle of a winding, downward curve, with traffic speeding north from Cottman Avenue.
