UPDATE: Driver in fatal Madison County crash charged
The driver of a vehicle involved in a fatal crash with a motorcyclist Thursday afternoon has been charged with felony second-degree vehicular manslaughter, Madison County sheriff's deputies said Friday.
Caitlin R. Frost, 27, of Taberg, also was charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs, driving with a suspended license, and failure to keep right, officials said.
Frost was driving west on Route 31 when she entered the eastbound lane near Blanding Hardware and collided with a motorcycle operated by Christopher J. Tucker, 43, of Oneida, deputies said.
Tucker was treated at the scene by Bridgeport Fire Department and transported to Upstate Hospital in Syracuse by AMR ambulance. Tucker later died of his injuries, officials said.
