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.

    • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

I could not be more pleased with my experience at Cellino Law. From the moment I first spoke with you I felt comfortable - you took a sincere interest in my case, clearly explained the process and effected a quick settlement.

    • 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.
