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.

Records show d’Antoine lived on East 87th, about half a block from where the
tragic accident unfolded.
She founded Margin Research, a boutique NYC-based research firm, in 2018,
according to the company’s website.
A website for a cyber security event she previously attended described d’Antoine
as the “Hacker in Residence” at NYU.
D’Antoine was rushed to Weill Cornell Medical Center in critical condition
following the crash and remained in critical condition for several days before
succumbing to her injuries on Friday.
The 62-year-old taxi driver was taken to New York City Health + Hospitals
Elmhurst in stable condition and the driver of the Land Rover remained on the
scene.

The Land Rover had been cited for speeding in a school zone five times in three
years, according to traffic summons data reviewed by Upper East Site.
The taxi that was involved had also been caught by traffic cameras speeding in a
school zone 13 times in less than two years, the outlet reported.

It wasn’t clear if the rainy weather during the crash played a role.
The NYPD has not arrested anyone in the case, though the investigation remains
ongoing.
