Ferrari Mailing List: Re: tragic 328 crash LIE Long Island

[jimshadow (jimshadow]

I was always amazed at the number of very preventable accidents that I saw in 
the ER from simply not wearing a damn belt.....then there is my old counterpart 
who doesn't ever wear them because he was in an accident at 16yrs old and 
someone said out loud that he was lucky..."a seatbelt wouldve really hurt 
you...".  He is absolutely convinced that they harm people!
The other thing that goes along with this is helmets.   Moving from Grand 
Rapids to Indiana I saw significantly more nasty injuries on bikes!    Natural 
Selection I guess...

"...was thrown from the car."

Sounds like another one who didn't think he needed seat belts.

Here is an article in a local newspaper.....
If anyone hears that it was a mechanical problem or hears anymore...please
post.


DIX HILLS, N.Y. (AP) _ A speeding Ferrari driver crashed into a light pole
on an expressway on Sunday and was killed, police said. 

Neil Battinelli, of Oyster Bay, lost control of his 1989 Ferrari on the Long
Island Expressway about 9:10 a.m., smacked into the light pole and was
thrown from the car, Suffolk County police said. Battinelli, 64, died at the
scene. 



The Ferrari, which might have had a mechanical problem, was impounded for a
safety check, said police, who didn't know what model it was. Ferraris from
that year are highly collectible and can sell for tens of thousands of
dollars.
