Kapur was riding on the back of a Revel rental scooter, driven by a 26-year-old man, when he "swerved for an unknown reason" at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the New York City Police Department. Police responded to the collision site in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and found both Kapur and the driver "fell to the roadway as a result." The NYPD is investigating the crash. The driver, who has not been identified, suffered minor injuries. Revel mopeds are a new addition to Manhattan streets. Anyone 21 or older with a valid license can ride one by simply downloading an app and unlocking a Revel from a designated service area. The mopeds come with two helmets. They go up to 30 mph and are not allowed on sidewalks, highways or bridges. Riding from Brooklyn or Queens, where the mopeds first debuted in New York, to Manhattan or vice versa is prohibited.

Her last tweet:

"Theres something so soothing and comforting about travel and nature. After a 5 day trip to #Denver, Im feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work!"

Glad she got to travel and see the world a little bit, she seemed like an adventurer that's probably why she didn't mind riding passenger on a moped. RIP

If you're on the street, you should be wearing full motorcycle protection.

Just wearing a "Helmet" isn't enough IMO.

There's SOOO much more protection you can wear that could've saved her life.

The "BARE MINIMUM" should be raised by law.

The new bare minimum should be appropriate:
Motorcycle Helmet with Facial protection
Motorcycle safety jacket
Motorcycle safety pants
Motorcycle Gloves
Motorcycle Boots

That should be the absolute bare minimum when riding.

I know it's annoying to some folks, but alot of riders die / suffer injuries (permanent/temporary) ones that could've been avoided by wearing safety gear.

Nope neither were wearing helmets. A couple days before she died that company suspended 1,000 drivers for violations.
