I have to admit, this is the first time I've seen a DOT truck identified as a crime boss.

In my defense, it was the article’s phrasing, not mine lol.

As unlikely as that sounds, an NYC DOT truck accidentally hit a former mafia boss and decapitated him.

According to people that knew him, the victim (Anthony Conigliaro) was “always looking out for others.”

Should’ve been looking out for trucks

This feels like the season finale of a show yet to be made.
