The then 13-year-old Frankie was in the car's passenger seat at the time of the accident. The driver, who was Frankie's friend, lost control because of rain which led the vehicle to crash with another car approaching from the opposite direction.
Fortunately, Frankie has now completely recovered from the traumas and injuries of the accident. He completed his high school education in 2016 and currently co-owns a beauty center with his mother by the name of Alexia and Frankie's Beauty Bar.
