Koenig, 62, was refueling at a Mobil station on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley when the out-of-control vehicle slammed into the gas pump she was using and pinned her against her car around 11:25 a.m. Saturday.

She was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

She was charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs. It was not immediately clear if McKinney would face upgraded charges since Koenig has died.
