Cops: Bicyclist Hit on Napeague Stretch Sunday Dies

David Disick, who was hit by a car while riding his bicycle on the Napeague stretch on Sunday afternoon, died at Stony Brook University Hospital on Wednesday, East Hampton Town police said. 

Mr. Disick, a 77-year-old East Hampton resident, was riding his bicycle east in the westbound shoulder, facing traffic, when he "suddenly attempted to travel across the lanes," town police Capt. Chris Anderson said earlier this week. A 2015 GMC, driven by Joseph Moleti of Nesconset, hit Mr. Disick in front of the Lobster Roll restaurant at 12:12 p.m., police said. 

Captain Anderson, who confirmed the news of Mr. Disick's death on Friday, said the department was notifed by the Suffolk medical examiner on Thursday. A determination of his cause of death was pending. "We are obviously awaiting the report of the medical examiner," Captain Anderson said. 

While an investigation remained open, Captain Anderson said he did not expect the driver of the GMC to be charged or issued any citations.
