A Queens kidnapping suspect is dead Friday, one day after he allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted a young child when he crashed his vehicle in an attempt to evade police, NYPD brass said.

A 35-year-old motorcyclist was critically injured when he crashed his bike and was thrown off the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge in Rockaway Beach on Wednesday evening.

A source familiar with the investigation said the man was not wearing a motorcycle helmet when he crashed and was ejected from the bike, landing on Beach Channel Drive below. An NYPD spokesman could not confirm that the rider was helmetless.
