Our hearts are heavy as we report the tragic loss of a young man full of promise, Jaylen J. Charron, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in northern Oneida County, New York.

The Incident That Changed Lives

The fatal accident occurred on October 12, 2023, at approximately 5:17 p.m. State Police in Remsen responded to a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of State Route 12 and Hinman Road in the town of Trenton.

A 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, operated by Roberta J. Shields, age 61, from Remsen, NY, was turning left onto Hinman Road from State Route 12. Unfortunately, she failed to observe a 2013 Yamaha motorcycle, piloted by Jaylen, which was traveling southbound on State Route 12. The impact of the crash caused the Subaru to spin and strike a 2018 Chevrolet pickup truck, which was stopped at the intersection1.

Shields and two female passengers were all transported to St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center for minor injuries. The operator of the pickup truck, Joshua A. Buck, age 35, from Remsen, and a 32-year-old passenger were not injured in the crash1.

Tragically, Jaylen, only 21 years old, from Herkimer, NY, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
