Michael S. Frick, a 35-year-old chef from New Fairfield, Connecticut, died at the scene of a pedestrian crash in Patterson, New York, on October 20, 2026, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
The collision happened around 8:09 p.m. at the intersection of State Route 22 and State Route 164. Frick was walking when he was struck by a Toyota four-door sedan, authorities said.
The driver remained at the scene and was cooperating with the investigation, according to Sgt. Michael DiVeglio, the sheriff’s office public information officer. DiVeglio identified Frick as the pedestrian involved in the collision.
Frick owned Saltxthyme, a business that provided private chef and catering services in Connecticut. Its service area included Fairfield, Litchfield and New Haven counties. Although Frick lived in New Fairfield, the crash occurred across the state line in Patterson.
