On Monday, Huber Heights police confirmed the woman, identified by family as Pamela Schwartz, died from her injuries. A release from the coroner’s office showed she died on Friday.

Family said that Schwartz often rode her bike around the neighborhood to help control her multiple sclerosis.

“Usually someone is with her, they ride in pairs, she rides the neighborhood quite a bit,” Ralph Evans, a neighbor said. “I just hate what happened to her.”

A family member, who wished to stay anonymous, previously told News Center 7 they are trying to stay positive knowing that Shwartz saved lives as an organ donor.

“For her to save three people and give them life is what we’re getting out of this ... that she lives on,” the family member said.

Police said the driver who hit Schwartz said they suffered a medical emergency. We’re working to learn if charges will be filed.

Shwartz’s family said they do not have any hatred toward the driver and want this to play out in court.
