An Uber Eats delivery driver killed on the job when his scooter collided with an MTA bus had recently fled police after officers spotted him riding against traffic, cops said Thursday. 
Andy Peralta, 32, was riding his 2025 Zhilong scooter north on Jerome Ave. when he turned left onto W. 
Mosholu Parkway South and was struck by an oncoming Bx28 bus in Bedford Park at about 5:14 p.m. 
Wednesday, according to police. 
Just four minutes before the crash, officers had attempted to stop Peralta after spotting him traveling against the flow of traffic near E. 205th St. and Jerome Ave. about a quarter mile away, according to law enforcement. 
The scooter rider managed to evade police by making a U-turn, cops said. 
An NYPD spokesman could not say if Peralta was being actively pursued when he turned into oncoming traffic and was struck by the bus. 
The collision sent Peralta flying from the vehicle, and he suffered a severe head injury, police said. 
He was taken St. 
Barnabas Hospital, where he died. 
“He was like a little brother to me,” the victim’s cousin, 34-year-old Eddie Martinez, told the Daily News. 
“It definitely took a toll on me. 
I was distraught. 
I didn’t really want to believe it at first.” 
Andy Peralta (Family Handout) 
Video uploaded to social media shows Peralta speeding through the neighborhood with an NYPD squad car in pursuit. 
“He was probably looking over his shoulder to see if he was in the clear, and that’s when he didn’t see the bus,” the victim’s cousin said. 
“You don’t just go down a one-way street knowing there’s a bus there. 
There’s so much unanswered.” 
Roughly 20 passengers were aboard the bus when the collision occurred, but no additional injuries were reported. 
Peralta began making deliveries for Uber Eats more than five years ago, after his mother helped him purchase the scooter, his cousin said. 
“He really likes to ride his moped. 
That was his cathartic release,” said Martinez, adding that in the past five to seven years “it became a thing. 
… He was a pretty experienced rider.” 
“He loved being able to go places,” Martinez said. 
“The freedom to wake up and just go.” 
The victim lived with his mom in the University Heights section of the Bronx, about 3 miles from where he was killed. 
“Obviously, (his mom’s) devastated,” the victim’s cousin said. 
“She’s going through the grieving process, frustrated, not understanding the whole situation. 
She’s casting blame left and right.” 
The victim’s family launched an online fundraiser to help pay his funeral expenses. 
“Anyone who knew Andy knows that he lived life to the fullest,” reads the GoFundMe posted Thursday. 
“He had a passion for the open road, a laugh that could brighten any room, and a heart of gold. 
His loss has left a hole in our family that can never be filled.
