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.”

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