It was La Crossing Nostra.
The 86-year-old man who was decapitated by a truck that plowed into him at a Brooklyn crosswalk is a former acting captain for the Genovese crime family, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Anthony Conigliaro — a one-time mafioso known as “Tony Cakes,” “Tony the Dessert Man,” among other dessert-themed sobriquets — died June 12 in an accidental hit by a city Department of Transportation truck, his lawyers and law-enforcement sources said.
“He spent his life looking over his shoulder but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street,” one police source said.

He likely went under the front left wheel and his head got caught up in the axle assembly or wheel well. Part of the lower body gets pinned under the moving wheel, causing his head to be pulled off by the forward movement of the truck.

Funny, I don't see anything else in the street but the covered head. There's a crosswalk at the intersection. I wonder if that's where he got hit, and his head landed there. That truck in the background is apparently the one that hit him. There's a picture on another site showing NYPD investigators hunched down looking underneath the truck with flashlights, but there's nothing on the truck either.

Maybe it was a contract that looked like an accident.
