STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Police have identified Robert Farina, 60, of Port Richmond, as the victim in a fatal crash that occurred last month in Greenridge.
According to the NYPD, on Sunday, Oct. 26, at approximately 6:45 p.m., police received a report of a pedestrian struck at Arthur Kill Road and Richmond Avenue.
That intersection was listed as one of the most dangerous on Staten Island based on 2024 crash data.
The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that a 2013 Honda Civic, operated by an 80-year-old female, was traveling westbound on Arthur Kill Road when she struck Farina, police said.
Farina was rushed by EMS to Northwell Staten Island University Hospital, Prince’s Bay, in stable condition but later died from his injuries, according to a statement released by the NYPD.
No charges have been filed at this time and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad, police said.
2nd fatal crash in October
The fatal crash occurred weeks after 66-year-old Meiyun Chen of Charleston was struck and killed at Veterans Road East and Bloomingdale Road in her neighborhood.
An investigation into that crash indicated that a 48-year-old woman was operating a 2024 Mazda CX-90 traveling eastbound on Veterans Road East when she struck Chen, the NYPD said.
EMS transported Chen to Northwell Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, where she died, a police spokesperson told the Advance/SILive.com.
