    OUCH That is horrible. I hope the driver and passenger are safe. Very bad looking crash and a tradgic thing to happen to such a beautiful Lamborghini. I hope both of the people in the car have a speedy recovery!

    That car looks familiar...I have seen a very similar Countach in the driveway of a home on Palisades Ave not far from 9W. It is on the left as you head up the road just past Dwight Englewood School.

    I would imagine that there aren't many of these around...I hope that they are both still with us and make a full recovery.

    Wow that looks pretty bad, I don't think the Countach had airbags back then, could anybody clarify.

    Eric - that is the car. The driver was rather badly injured. I saw the car and the aftermath. The pole penetrated the driver's side foot-box, the instrument cluster was on the opposite side of the street.

    Clyde - you have a PM.

    One of these years. Pretty slow going, and the commute to the shop doesn't help matters.

    Not airbags... more like plastic sheeting to cover up something unpleasant.

    Thoughts and prayers to the Father and Son.

    I believe it is the Lambo from Palisade Ave. I was on Palisade ave headed west (down the hill) on Saturday and saw it going east up the hill. I saw the picture in the Record and was not impressed in the way the car came apart. The whole passenger area came apart unlike the Ferrari accidents where the cocoon stays intact.

    I have found nothing else in the paper on this wreck.

    Leon,
    The system won't allow me to send you a PM and I don't have your e-mail
    so I'll post my response here:
    I don't have the picture any more.
    If you check at your local libary, you should be able to find a copy of the Bergan record from last weekend & hence the picture.

    Jon... I suspect the photo above was taken AFTER the rescue crew cut the roof off the car. I dont think looks like that solely from the accident.

    Hello.. My parents are friends with the driver and driver's sister. It infact is the same countach you see on Palisades Ave. The son is ok but im getting mixed feed back of the father who was driving regarding the leg/foot rumors. He is in intensive care from what I have heard and has undergone surgery. Keep him in your prayers. Once i get confirmation of his condition, hopefully positive, I will post about it.

    Does anyone know or could they find out what became of this car? I am assuming it was totaled, but where did it end up? I am searching for a trunk lid for my car, and if this car went to a salvage yard or parts outlet, I might be able to acquire it. Thanks for the help in advance.

    +1 I mean you may not have expected that type of response from PizzaPrince but out of respect I don't we should discuss acquiring parts of this mans car. I hope that owner is having a healthy recovery

    thought's and prayer's should be at the top of list.He could be a fellow
    f chat brother for all we know.Once again i apologize for the harch wording.
