The heartbroken parents of a Poughkeepsie teen who died last August in a bicycle accident are speaking with News 12 about their concerns with the police investigation.

Town of Poughkeepsie police say 14-year-old Jac Cortes was riding his bicycle Aug. 8, at approximately 5:50 p.m., along the shoulder of Vassar Road when the incident occurred. Police say he was behind a friend and toward oncoming traffic when his friend stopped short, and Cortes fell into the road.

They say the Wappingers Junior High School student was then fatally struck by a pickup truck.

Cortes’ parents, however, allege there are inconsistencies in the accident report, and say police have yet to turn over evidence to their attorney.

“We just want some understanding and, if needed, justice for Jac,” says Christina Cortes. He deserves it.”

“Public officers law Article 6 requires the Town of Poughkeepsie to provide public information about this case to the family,” says Cortes’ family attorney Greg Sobo. “This has been quite some time now that they’ve had our freedom of information law request. The law requires they turn over these details and for some reason, they’re not doing it.”

Town of Poughkeepsie police say the tragedy was ruled an accident and that no charges or tickets will be filed against the driver.

News 12 reached out to authorities for more information about the Cortes’ concerns but didn’t immediately receive a response.

“The devastation that it has brought our family is just indescribable,” Juan Cortes says. I would not wish my worst enemy to feel this way that we feel since all this happened.”
