State Police Investigate a Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Jefferson County

On July 16, 2022, at 12:16 p.m., State Police responded to a fatal accident that occurred at 15058 Snowshoe Road in the Town of Henderson.

The driver stated the pickup truck lost power/brakes and began to roll back, causing the trailer to strike 55-year-old Matthew F. Bondellio Sr, from Adams Center, NY who was standing directly behind the trailer spraying the driveway.

Mr. Bondellio was transported to Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown where he succumbed to his injuries.

The investigation is continuing.
