ORIGINAL:

A man has been charged with manslaughter, in the deadly hit-and-run which killed a woman in Clay.

Deputies say the driver hit 22-year-old Madison Faltisco of Liverpool Thursday night then drove off and got into a second crash about a mile away on Route 57.

Joshua Schiano, 23, of Clay, was charged with vehicular manslaughter, second-degree vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal vehicle accident.

The timeline of Madison Faltisco's death is still being pieced together.

At approximately 10:46 p.m. Thursday evening, police scanners were alerted to a crash near a Salvation Army along Route 57 in Clay.

“Oswego Road near Blackberry Road at the Dunkin’. Caller reporting a car into a pole ... possible intoxicated driver ... now saying that the vehicle is in front of a salvation army thrift store,” is what was said on the police scanner around that time.

Seconds later, officers are heard being dispatched to the location, “Copy. Got a 20s male disoriented possible 11-92.”

At around 10:50 p.m. on the police scanner, officers note that after striking a pole the vehicle was then on fire.

It was not until around 5:07 a.m. the next morning that officers found that this was the second crash the suspect was involved in that night.

“Traumatic injury...female down, not breathing unconscious, in front of the Liverpool branch of the Seneca Savings. 7799 Oswego Road," a police officer said.

Twenty-two-year-old Madison Faltisco of Liverpool was found dead less than a mile away from the crash on Thursday night.

While the Sheriff’s Office said they are still working to connect some of the dots, investigators believe the suspect now charged, struck her before ultimately crashing near outside the Salvation Army.

“We’ll let the Sheriff’s department do a complete investigation,” said Assistant DA Joseph Coolican. “And we’ll consult with the Sheriff's Department and the charges will be appropriate based on the evidence that the sheriff's office develops.”
