Driver Charged With Vehicular Manslaughter in Bridgeport Motorcycle Accident

Driver Charged With Vehicular Manslaughter in Bridgeport Motorcycle Accident
Calendar icon April 19, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

A fatal accident happened on Thursday, April 8, along Route 31 in Bridgeport. Now the Madison County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the reasons for the Bridgeport motorcycle accident that claimed the life of a forty-three-year-old motorcyclist. 

Twenty-seven-year-old Catlin Frost from Taberg, New York, was operating a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier and crossed into the eastbound lane of Route 31, crashing with a 1988 Yamaha VMAX motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, Christopher Tucker from Oneida, got medical help at the scene and was taken to Upstate Hospital where he later died from his injuries.

A drug recognition expert evaluated Frost and she agreed to give a blood sample. The woman admitted to using drugs before the accident; the blood test results are pending. According to the police, there was an indication that Frost was distracted while driving, which led to the Bridgeport motorcycle accident. 

Frost is charged with vehicular manslaughter in the second degree, driving with a suspended license, failure to keep right and driving while ability impaired by drugs.

She was arraigned and remanded to the Madison County Jail on $10,000 cash bail, $20,000 bail bond, or $40,000 partially secured bond. Madison is set to appear before the Town of Sullivan Court on April 13 in regard to her charges.

Motorcycle accidents often end in fatalities because of the size of these vehicles and the lack of protection. It doesn’t take a huge impact for the motorcyclist to end with severe injuries.

If you were involved in an accident caused by a drunk or drugged driver, you may be entitled to get a compensation claim for your injuries and damages. In case your loved one was killed in such an accident, make sure to seek legal help from a New York car accident attorney. Schedule your first consultation at Cellino Law today.

    Testimonials

    • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

      Danielle and Joe

    • 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 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.
