A man and woman were killed<\/a> when they catapulted from their out-of-control motorcycle that also hit four other vehicles on a Queens highway during the Thursday evening rush, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair were on the CFMoto 650 motorcycle on the eastbound Grand Central Parkway approaching the Jackie Robinson Parkway<\/a> around 6:30 p.m. when the man suddenly spun out and hit a white BMW, driven by a 28-year-old woman, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The motorcycle careened into a blue Ford Explorer with a 39-year-old man behind the wheel, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two people were killed on the Grand Central Parkway when a BMW collided with the motorcycle eastbound heading for the exit towards the Jackie Robinson Parkway. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n

At that point, both occupants were thrown from the bike, striking the pavement, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the motorcycle kept moving, hitting a Chevrolet Express van operated by a 37-year-old man and a Chrysler Town and Country minivan with a 73-year-old male driver, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver of the CFMoto 650 motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n

The motorcycle driver suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS workers, while the passenger was rushed to<\/a> NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she too did not survive, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both remained unidentified Friday, with neither their names nor their ages released. <\/p>\n

Their relationship to each other is also unclear.<\/p>\n

The passenger of the motorcycle was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Peter Gerber<\/p>\n
