Biography
Frankie was attending college with his friend Kimberly, along with Shaina and Dano, and was originally going on spring break with his friends in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Final Destination 2
Frankie, in Kimberly's SUV with the Biker’s Girlfriend looking at him.
Frankie, along with his friends Shaina, Dano, and Kimberly, was planning on going to a party in Daytona Beach when they were caught up in a deadly pile-up caused by a truck spilling its contents all over the road, killing several motorists. After Kimberly rolls over her SUV, critically injuring her and her friends, a fiery truck begins to drive right at her. However, it was later confirmed that this was all a dream.
Death
After witnessing the crash, Kimberly begins to freak out once she sees all the signs she saw in her dream. Frankie and his friends urge her to move forward, but after driving a few feet, she stops in the middle of the road, holding up traffic. When the pile-up occurs, just like she predicted, her friends begin to freak out. After staring at the carnage, they hear a loud horn blaring and see a large truck (the same one from Kimberly's dream) heading towards them. The truck slams into Kimberly's SUV and destroys it, instantly killing Frankie, Dano, and Shaina.
