Thu Oct 19, 2006 2:38pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A speeding car (一辆超速行驶的轿车) driven by a naked (裸体的) woman high on drugs (吸毒过量) hit and killed a pedestrian(行人) in the New York City borough (自治市或区) of Staten Island, before flipping over (翻车)and stopping in a parking lot, authorities said on Thursday.
The driver, Taliyah Taylor, 24, of Staten Island, was uninjured in Wednesday‘s crash (撞车)and pulled from the upside-down car (翻过来的,倒过来的) with no clothes on by employees of a nearby hardware store (五金店), said William Smith, spokesman for the Staten Island District Attorney‘s office (律师事务所).
She has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs (服药后驾车) and second-degree manslaughter (二级杀人罪), Smith said.
The impact (撞击) of Taylor‘s speeding Nissan hitting 41-year-old Larry Simon killed him instantly (将他当场撞死) and sent him flying into above-ground electrical wires (把他撞飞到地面上架的电线上), severing his legs, authorities said.
Simon, a lawyer who had previously worked as a prosecutor (曾经做起诉律师) in the Staten Island District Attorney‘s office from 1997 to 2000, was waiting in the median to cross the street (在中线上等着过马路) and never saw the car, Smith said.
After hitting Simon, Taylor‘s car hit a vehicle whose occupants (车上的人) were not seriously injured.
