MARCH
25 UPDATE
IGL
headquarters was notified yesterday by our German
promotional partner GammaPro
that
a car carrying Italian featherweight champion Antonella
Crimi was involved in a collision
with
a container truck on Sunday (March 22nd). A GammaPro
representative was driving
Antonella
to
the airport following her fight in Stuttgart the previous
night,
when the BMW
Mini they were in collided
with the truck in the middle of an intersection.
Both
Antonella and the GammaPro representative
are in stable condition,
but they both sustained
multiple injuries.
Antonella
has 4 broken ribs, ruptured diaphragm, a dislocated knee,
and multiple broken fingers
in
both hands. She is also suffering from mild concussion.
The driver also has 2 broken ribs
and
a concussion. The accident was apparently the result of
a traffic light malfunction:
traffic
cameras show that the lights were green for both
Antonella's Mini traveling north
and
the truck traveling west before they collided in the
middle of the intersection.
The
blood alcohol content of both drivers were forensically
determined under the legal limit,
and
the skid marks support unimpaired judgement from both
drivers.
Our
deepest concern and consolation go to Ms. "Marvelous"
Antonella.
In
the wake of this truly unfortunate event, we are very
relieved that she is safe,
and
we wish her a safe and speedy recovery. The
IGL spotlight will be dimmer while she is away. (Article
