Kingston, NY—On Monday, May 20, 2024, Angela Fischl, age 25, was arraigned before the Honorable Bryan Rounds and remanded to the Ulster County Jail with bail set at $50,000 cash, $100,000 property bond, or $150,000 partially secured bond with 10% cash down, in connection to the March 1, 2024, hit-and-run resulting in the deaths of Donna Cristallo and Stephen Celuch, both of Kingston.

Cristallo and Celuch had been crossing the roadway on Route 9W in the Town of Marlborough when they were struck by a 2020 Kia Forte operated by Angela Fischl. Ms. Fischl did not stop to check or render aid; she was stopped and identified by law enforcement several minutes later on Route 9W in Newburgh as she was driving the badly damaged vehicle. 

The thorough investigation was a collaboration of the New York State Police and the Collision Reconstruction Unit, Town of Marlborough Police Department, and the DA’s Office which employs a full-time investigator dedicated to vehicular crimes since the beginning of 2024.

The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. 

Deputy Chief ADA Paul Derohannesian is prosecuting the case. The defendant is represented by Newburgh defense attorney Derek Andrews.
