The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 12, at approximately 12:41 p.m. at the intersection of Queens Chapel Road and Channing Street NE. The cyclist, Alexander Nikolenko of Northeast DC, was traveling southbound on Queens Chapel Road when a black Nissan Armada entered the intersection from Channing Street.
