A Maineville woman was charged Monday, Aug. 17, with vehicular manslaughter following a fatal motorcycle accident last week, according to the Lebanon Municipal Court.

Kristina Tedesco, 35, 294 Bannock Drive, Maineville, was charged with one count of vehicular manslaughter, a second-degree misdemeanor following an Aug. 6 accident that took the life of Bradley Bachelor, 34, of Lebanon.

According to Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Rob Waulk, Bachelor was driving a 2003 Suzuki motorcycle shortly before 10:30 a.m. south on Stubbs Mill Road in Turtlecreek Twp. when Tedesco, who was heading north on Stubbs Mill Road, attempted to turn left onto Cook Road and pulled out in front of Bachelor, causing him to collide with her 2007 Chevrolet Equinox.

Bachelor was transported by ambulance to Bethesda Arrow Springs Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Waulk said Tedesco told troopers she was talking on her cell phone with her husband when she struck Bachelor. Tedesco told police she was coming from the Clarksville area and had gotten lost due to Ohio 123 being closed east of Lebanon, Waulk said.

A bond hearing has been set for 2 p.m. today, Aug. 20 at the Lebanon Municipal Court.
