A 58-year-old pedestrian was fatally struck by an e-scooter while crossing a Staten Island street Saturday evening, according to police.

The e-scooter operator was also thrown from the two-wheeler during the collision that happened outside the crosswalk, police said.

Gomez-Guallazaca suffered severe trauma throughout his body and was later pronounced dead at Richmond University Medical Center.

Police said he lived in the Bronx less than a mile from Yankees Stadium, though records indicate his most recent address was in Suffolk County on Long Island.
