A drunk driver killed a sixteen-year-old girl on Saturday in the early morning hours. It was a hit-and-run accident that occurred in Oswego County, troopers informed.

The New York State Police said that Kaydence E. Nichols from Hannibal, died after the pickup truck hit her while she was walking on the side of State Route 176 in Hannibal.

Another teenager, Riley P. Trumble, was also hit by the truck. Seventeen-year-old Trumble from Hannibal, is in a critical state, hospitalized at a Syracuse hospital.

Both teenagers were students at Hannibal High School.  The crash happened sometime after 12:30 a.m. on Route 176, on a two-lane rural highway.

Christopher J. Rogers II was driving a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup truck and was traveling west State Route 176 when he hit the two teenagers as they walked on the shoulder of the road, according to the troopers. A third person was with Nichols and Trumble was not injured.

Rogers immediately escaped the scene and did not stop his truck.

Sixteen-year-old Nichols was pronounced dead at the scene. Trumble although severely injured, is now in a stable condition after and is hospitalized in Upstate University Hospital. 

The police found Rogers and his pickup shortly after the accident. Twenty-nine-year-old Rogers from 217 Germandale Drive, Fulton, was arrested by troopers and charged with a felony – second-degree vehicular manslaughter, a felony- leaving the scene in a fatal motor vehicle accident, a felony – second-degree vehicular assault, and misdemeanor – driving while intoxicated.

Hit and run accidents are a crime and every driver no matter how drunk and no matter how big of a crash they caused, is obliged to stay at the scene.

    • 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!

    • 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.

    • Now that reality has set in, I want to thank you for all your work and assistance in obtaining my settlement for the pelvic mesh. This money will make my life so much easier in the future. Medicare just isn't sufficient. I know that I will have enough to live on. I truly appreciate of your efforts. Thank you!

    • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.
