Eliades Roque, 30, pleaded guilty in December to leaving the scene of a Jan. 2, 2015, crash that killed Dimitrios Frangakis, 43, of Bayonne, which carried a sentence of five to 10 years in prison. The other charges -- hindering apprehension, tampering with physical evidence and filing a false police report -- were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
It was about 11:35pm when Frangakis was thrown from his motorcycle as the result of a collision with a car, which then left the scene. Frangakis was found lying in the roadway and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Information on the investigation is limited, but police say they are currently interviewing a "person of interest" in relation to this accident.
