Jill Tarlov

The cyclist whose collision with a former 1010 WINS employee ultimately led to her death has finally broken his silence.

According to the Daily Mail, 31-year-old Jason Marshall said in a statement released by his attorney just hours after the death of Jill Tarlov that he is 'utterly devastated' about what happened, calling the incident 'an unavoidable accident.'

Tarlov, was who left brain dead after being hit by the swerving cyclist last week, died on Monday. She was in New York City on Thursday to buy her daughter a gift, when she was hit by Marshall while walking through Central Park.

The mother of two was rushed to New York Presbyterian hospital where she was put on life support.

On Monday, her husband, CBS executive Mike Wittman, released a statement saying she passed.

'My wife was beautiful in every way imaginable,' Wittman wrote.

'We are heartsick over the passing of our dear friend and former 1010 WINS Radio colleague Jill Tarlov,' Anton Guitano, chief operating officer of CBS Local Media and Peter Dunn, president of CBS television, said in a joint statement.

'As we mourn the loss of our friend and console Mike and his family, we are committed to doing what we can to bring greater public awareness of the perils of unsafe and distracted driving by motorists and cyclists that endangers pedestrians. Far too many people have been killed or seriously injured on our streets,' the statement read.

Cyclist Marshall has so far, not been charged in the deadly collision.
