Two New Yorkers Killed in Farming Vehicle Crash in Bennington

Two New Yorkers Killed in Farming Vehicle Crash in Bennington
Calendar icon April 15, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

Two people, both of them New York residents, were killed in a crash in Bennington on Thursday, April 8, around 7 p.m in the area of 1638 West Road. 

The Bennington Police got a report about a severe crash and asked for help from the Rural Fire Department at the scene. When they arrived, they found a 1998 Toyota Camry wedged under the back of a huge farming vehicle. Both people in the Camry were unresponsive and the police pronounced them dead at the scene. 

The police identified both occupants as eighty-five-year-old Charles Schichtl and eighty-two-year-old Lorraine Schichtl from Petersburg, New York. Charles was driving the car. The farming vehicle (new Leader Dry Hauler) was operated by twenty-nine-year-old Matthew Williams from Bennington, VT; he sustained no injuries.

The Dry Hauler kept moving westbound with the Camry wedged below its frame. Williams said that he thought that the tire blew and he didn’t realize a vehicle had hit him. He then stopped into the next field to see what was going on with his vehicle, when he saw the Camry. 

The police closed West Road/Route 9 for several hours while they were investigating the scene of the crash in Bennington. The Vermont State Police helped with the crash. The police are still investigating the accident and anyone who has witnessed it or has any info should call Sgt. Roscoe Harrington at 802-442-1030.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

    • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

    • Cellino Law is an amazing firm with a great team. I worked with Greg Pajak and his assistant, Tracey Falconer. I cannot express enough how dedicated they are. The personal attention I received was excellent; they were always available to help with questions and concerns and put me at ease in the unknown territory I found myself in. I highly recommend them to anyone needing representation. A huge thank you to them for all they accomplished for me!

    • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.
