GREENFIELD — Judge Tina Cafaro set bail at $1,000 for the man accused of driving off after allegedly hitting two women with his vehicle and fleeing the scene on Country Club Road on Friday.

Greenfield Police arrested Vladimir Sinigur, 55, of Greenfield, on Friday night, not long after he allegedly struck two women with a gray Toyota Tundra pickup truck near the intersection of Country Club Road and Brookside Avenue.

Sinigur, who pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in Greenfield District Court on Monday morning, was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of personal injury, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and one count each of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of property damage.

Addressing Cafaro, Assistant District Attorney Aidan Lanciani requested that Sinigur’s bail be set at $10,000, given the severity of the alleged incident and the defendant’s prior run-ins with the law, citing an arrest for operating under the influence in February and a court summons that was issued for operating a vehicle without a driver’s license in July.

“Upon arrival, the officers could hear an individual crying out in pain, and saw a motorized scooter with sustained heavy damage,” Lanciani recounted. “Given the seven counts the defendant now faces, the serious allegations and the facts [of the case] ... with injuries for the two victims ... he left the scene and his record, we’re asking for $10,000 cash bail.”

Lanciani outlined the police narrative from Friday’s hit and run, noting that no tire marks were located at the scene, leading police to believe the vehicle’s driver did not attempt to brake or slow down. She said officers found a plastic piece of the Toyota truck at the scene and later located the truck in a driveway on River Road in Deerfield.

Lanciani said police identified Sinigur as the truck’s driver because his orange T-shirt matched a witnesses’ description of the man behind the wheel. The truck belongs to Sinigur’s son.

“A third-party witness called the police shortly thereafter and stated she observed the gray pickup truck speeding in the southbound lane on Country Club Road just before the accident, and noted the same orange T-shirt,” Lanciani said. “Officers also located a video that showed a dark gray Toyota Tundra pickup traveling at a high rate of speed southbound on Country Club Road shortly before the accident.”

According to Lanciani, police visited the two victims — one 46 years old and the other 75 years old — at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield on Saturday. She said the 46-year-old reported fractures on her left leg and foot, as well as extreme back pain. The 75-year-old, Lanciani said, has a broken tibia, leaving her unable to walk.

Willard Cole, the 75-year-old victim’s long-term partner, said his partner underwent surgery on her leg on Monday.

“I just hope that [Sinigur] gets the maximum sentence allowed by law,” Cole said.

Attorney Jennifer Alpert, who represented Sinigur during the bail hearing, requested that he be released without bail under the condition that he abstain from driving and surrender his passport.

Alpert argued that although the allegations made against the defendant are severe, Sinigur’s past record of appearing for his probation hearings and ties to the community put him at low risk for evading justice.

“I understand these are serious allegations, but it also appears that facts are still being developed,” Alpert said. “Because he’s not a flight risk, because he has no convictions, because of his very strong ties to the community and family that’s here, he will return to court.”

Alpert noted that the defendant is “innocent until proven guilty” and has “limited resources,” to pay the state’s requested bail. She added that Sinigur, who has lived in Greenfield for 20 years, has a job in construction and friends and family members who can drive him to work.

“The purpose of bail being to ensure that he returns to court,” Alpert said. “I argue that there is no indication he will not, and there are strong indicators that he will because of his family.”

Ultimately, Cafaro ruled that Sinigur’s bail be set at $1,000 under the conditions that he abstain from driving and surrender his passport. He is scheduled to appear in district court again on Nov. 14.
