An 86-year-old man, identified as Anthony Conigliaro, a former high-ranking member of the Genovese crime family, was tragically killed in a car accident in Brooklyn, New York. After being hit by a turning New York City Department of Transportation truck while crossing the street, Conigliaro suffered a fatal head injury and his body was crushed on the spot. Conigliaro, who had served a 13-month prison sentence for extortion-related charges, had turned his life around post-release by successfully running dessert businesses, including a cake wholesale business and an Italian ice cream stand, only to meet this unfortunate end in his later years.
