Amsterdam woman charged after fatal motorcycle crash

AMSTERDAM, N.Y. (AP) - The woman accused of causing a fatal motorcycle accident in Amsterdam has been indicted on reckless endangerment charges.

Police say Georgeanna Crisalli threw a beer can at David Rivera back in April, causing him to lose control of his bike.

Investigators say speed was the main factor that caused Rivera to crash into another vehicle, but the beer can is believed to have distracted him and contributed to the accident.

The woman accused of causing a fatal motorcycle accident in Amsterdam has been indicted on reckless endangerment charges. Police say Georgeanna Crisalli threw a beer can at David Rivera on April 8th, causing him to lose control of his bike.

Witnesses have said Rivera turned his head when Crisalli threw the can and when he turned back, the motorcycle began to wobble.

Crisalli was indicted on the charge in Montgomery County yesterday. Police believe she threw the can because she was angry at motorcyclists who speed down city streets.

People on motorcycles have enough to deal with, they don't need looney women tossing cans at them. At least Amsterdam is going to try to hold her accountable.
