STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 59-year-old bicycle rider hit by a car on Richmond Road in Richmond Tuesday evening has died from his injuries, police said.



The victim has been identified as Stanley Marshall, a Richmond resident.

The vehicle's driver, Lisa Martini, 52, of Clarence Place in Oakwood, has been charged by police with operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs, according to a spokesman for the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.



Police determined that she was under the influence of cannabis, the spokesman said.

Martini's vehicle struck the bicycle and knocked it to the ground, then she ran over the victim and the bike, police said.

The crash occurred at about 5:37 p.m. on Richmond Road about 20 feet east of Andrews Avenue. The preliminary investigation by the NYPD's Collision Squad indicated that the crash occurred when a white, 2013 Honda CRV driven by Martini was attempting to make a left turn to head east on Richmond Road while exiting the parking lot of the strip mall at 3473-3485 Richmond Road.

Marshall suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries and was rushed in critical condition to Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze, police said.

A distraught family member who contacted the Advance said that Marshall's body was in such bad shape after the accident that the only organs they could donate were his eyes.

Marshall, who lived in an apartment over one of the shops on Richmond Road, had just returned home from his work cleaning oil tanks and had borrowed his roommate's bike to make a quick trip to a nearby deli for food, the relative said.
