TROY, NY — A deadly motorcycle accident has left the Troy community shaken as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash that occurred on the evening of Thursday, July 10, 2025, in the Lansingburgh neighborhood.
At approximately 6:30 p.m., Troy Police Patrol Officers responded to emergency calls reporting a motorcycle crash near the intersection of 2nd Avenue and 107th Street. Upon arrival, officers found a male motorcyclist severely injured and lying on the ground. Officers immediately administered life-saving measures until the Troy Fire Department arrived and took over care. The victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The victim has been identified as 39-year-old Kyran J. Nardolillo of Albany.
Preliminary investigations by Troy Police Detectives suggest that Nardolillo was traveling southbound on 2nd Avenue when he lost control of his motorcycle and struck a parked, unoccupied vehicle. The impact caused significant damage to the motorcycle, and the rider sustained fatal injuries.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the crash and are working diligently to uncover the full chain of events leading up to the collision. Officials are examining factors such as road conditions, possible mechanical failure, rider speed, and any other contributing elements.

Barker expressed the department’s condolences: “The thoughts of the Mayor, Administration, and the Troy Police Department remain with the victim’s family, friends, and loved ones as they confront this sudden loss.
