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.

    Testimonials

    • 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.

    • Thank you for your time, effort, and hard work on my case. I appreciate your expertise and compassion. I never experienced what I went through and I would have been completely lost without you.

      Martha

    • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

    • I highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone involved in a car crash. I worked with Michael Lovecchio, and had a wonderful experience given the circumstances. He was very attentive, and got the best possible outcome I could have wanted.

    • 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.
