A young cybersecurity research firm founder has died after she spent several days fighting for her life from being struck by a speeding SUV on the Upper East Side during last week’s rain showers, cops said.
Sophia D’Antoine, the 30-year-old founder of Margin Research, died on Friday — three days after she was struck by a speeding 2017 Land Rover SUV about half a block from her apartment, police said.
The horrifying crash occurred as D’Antoine was crossing York Avenue at East 87th Street around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2. After hitting D’Antoine, the Land Rover, driven by a 72-year-old man, hit a taxi head-on, sending the vehicle smashing into a parked, unoccupied 2022 Ford Explorer SUV, police said.
