A 20-year-old man was killed Tuesday night in Garden City after he was hit on his motorcycle at an intersection with a traffic light out due to a power outage caused by Hurricane Sandy.

was operating a 2001 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound on Washington Avenue
with an 18-year-old female passenger.

Hospital where he was pronounced deceased at 8:50 p.m. by hospital staff, police said.
The female passenger was transported to an
area hospital and treated for fractures to both arms, police said. No further
