    Woman, 90, Dies After Crashing New Sports Car

    Tuesday, October 14, 2008

    POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — A 90-year-old woman was killed when she lost control of her new sports car and slammed into a pole, authorities said.

    State motor vehicle records show that Maria Brunetti, of Pompano Beach, got the 2009 Dodge Challenger Friday on her birthday. A Broward Sheriff's spokesman said the car's odometer only showed 151 miles.

    Detectives believe that Brunetti lost control Sunday when she accelerated instead of braking while trying to make a turn. The car hit a concrete pole and caught fire with Brunetti and her son, 47-year-old Peter Brunetti, trapped inside.

    Witnesses pulled the them from the burning car, and fire-rescue took them to the hospital. The woman was pronounced dead a short time later, and her son was in serious condition.

      ...another reason why I think people over 60 and then at intervals of every 10 years need some kind of recertification to drive. I had been driving 90 seconds and knew which was the brake and which was the gas. A sad story, but likely a very preventable one.
