4-Year-Old New Milford Boy Injured in ATV Accident Needs Help

NEW MILFORD, CT — The family of a 4-year-old New Milford boy injured in an ATV Accident last week needs help with medical expenses and funeral costs for his father who died in the crash.

Matthew Bigbie, 37, passed away on Sunday after his ATV flipped in the driveway of his home on Unicorn Drive last Tuesday.

Bigbie’s son Mason also injured in the crash and his aunt Catherine James has set up a fundraiser tohelp cover the family's expenses. James' sister, Mason's mother, is a CNA at New Milford Hospital and was working at the time of the accident.

"My sister's longtime boyfriend and father of her two children did not make it due to his injuries. My nephew will make a full recovery with lots of speech therapy and regular therapy and doctor visits. My sister cannot work at this time for a while so that she may take care of her son and daughter at home. She was the sole money maker of this family and has to take a leave from work to make sure that Mason makes a full recovery. There is no life insurance," James wrote on the fundraising page.

Matthew Bigbie and his son were taken to Danbury Hospital and Mason was later transported to Yale New Haven Hospital.
