Motorcyclist Left Dead After Freak Crash in Queens

Motorcyclist Left Dead After Freak Crash in Queens
Calendar icon September 13, 2020

The police responded to an accident involving a motorcyclist and one of their own this week in Queens. At about 1 am on September 5th, the police arrived at the scene of the crash on the Belt Parkway. The crash happened in the block between Erskine Street and Cross Way Boulevard.

Two guys were out on their motorcycles when tragedy struck. Matthew Hester, a 41-year old man from Hempstead, crashed his bike into the back of a patrol car. The officer had been parked on the street helping a stranded motorist. His partner was sitting in the front seat of the car at the time of the accident.

When Hester hit the back of the cruiser, the bike ended up on top of the trunk. The driver flew off the bike and slammed into the pavement. When his friend realized what happened, he circled back to help his friend.

36-year old Tyrell Frazier is a firefighter at Engine Company 252 in Brooklyn. He was not on duty at the time of the crash. He stopped to administer CPR to his friend when the officer arrived at the scene. The officer noticed that Frazier had alcohol on his breath. He was subsequently arrested and charged with DWI.

Hester was rushed by ambulance to Jamaica Hospital where he later died from his injuries. He was unconscious and unresponsive by the time the police attended the accident scene.

The victim will likely not have a claim against the city as it appears he may have also been intoxicated at the time of the accident. There also does not appear to be any fault on the part of the patrol officer.

  • 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.

  • My experience during the time of negotiations was extremely positive. Josh Sandberg handled my lawsuit with the utmost integrity. He returned all my phone calls in a timely manner and answered all my questions. Josh made things less stressful. I would highly recommend Josh and the entire staff at Cellino Law.

  • My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a fantastic job as our attorney. We could not have been more pleased with the work you and your team has done on this case. This past four years or so has been such a roller coaster for our family. We are very pleased and grateful with the result. We have made a good choice by choosing you. Thank you.

  • 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.
