A woman who worked at the Red Bamboo restaurant on West 4th Street was killed while riding her bicycle in the East Village Sunday night. A private trash truck hit Brandie Bailey at Houston and Avenue A as she was biking home to East Williamsburg before Midnight. When he was pulled over on East 21st and Second Avenue, the trucker driver told the police he didn't realize he had hit anybody. The driver hasn't been charged yet, but the police are still investigating.
Co-workers at the Red Bamboo told the Post that Bailey was from Canada and had been living in Williamsburg with friends, saying, "That girl was as sweet as they get."
