DIX HILLS, N.Y. (AP) – A speeding Ferrari driver crashed into a light pole on an expressway on Sunday and was killed, police said.

Neil Battinelli, of Oyster Bay, lost control of his 1989 Ferrari on the Long Island Expressway about 9:10 a.m., smacked into the light pole and was thrown from the car, Suffolk County police said. Battinelli, 64, died at the scene.

The Ferrari, which might have had a mechanical problem, was impounded for a safety check, said police, who didn’t know what model it was. Ferraris from that year are highly collectible.
