Parkway crash warrants firing
A Garden State Parkway toll collector who used a cut in a Parkway median to make an illegal U-turn, resulting in a collision that left the driver of the other vehicle in critical condition, has been suspended pending an internal hearing. He should have been canned instantly.
The injured driver, a 26-year-old man from Yonkers, N.Y., was ejected from his vehicle, which overturned several times. The accident occurred about 10 p.m. Sunday near mile marker 93.5 in Brick.
After Parkway officials have completed their internal review, they also should review their hiring policies. The toll collector, 76-year-old Arrigo Conti, of Bay Head, was hired at age 72. We're all for equal employment opportunities. But what special qualifications did this guy have for the job that other candidates didn't?

this is just another example of your attitude age discrimination,seniors in this state MUST work just to eat and pay property taxes!
I feel sad that this accident happened. I dont necessarily feel it is anyone fault. We all make a quick u-turn. The only thing we can do is to pray for Shibu and his family. He is a close friend of mine and I consider him as my brother. Knowing Shibu, he will make it thru all this and back to his normal self again soon.
My colleague forwarded this link to me and I'm writing with a heavy heart.. Shibu is my only sibling and his consition is still critical.. Let's keep praying for his healing and recovery....
