Police have identified the owner of a high-performance sports car found abandoned burning near the George Washington Bridge.

Deankarte E. Ditchfield-Agboh, 33, of Palisades Park, NJ, is the owner of the 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago, Port Authority Police spokesman Joe Pentangelo said. The Lamborghini was found on fire and unoccupied in the westbound lanes near the bridge toll plaza in Fort Lee early Monday.

LOL! I must be tired; I missed that.

“Likely he didn’t want to stick around to fail the sobriety test.”

It’s a weird story. I head it on the radio today. I mean, didn’t anyone see this happen?

[jocon307]

For real, that is some name!

Hey you know, in the Brit mysteries it seems the bad guy always has a hyphenated name!

And “Ditchfield”, that’s almost too perfect, it’s like he was named by Charles Dickens just for this unfortunate event.

I am simple minded and easily confused so I just had to ask to see if I read that right. Thanks.:)

How can he appear in court after the headline clearly says the owner was found abandoned and burned in a car crash?

‘Was wondering the same thing. Copy must have been written by Common Core Grad’

I don’t think they have had time to pass thru a few common core grads, which is worst. It means the previous grads are dumber than a bag of hammers. God will have save my Social Security, last 2 generations are too dumb to hold a job. I am glad I had the foresight to get a part time job. Looks like I will die working or from something else.

This might be one of many Lamborghini’s where flammable glue was used in the rear wheel wells of the vehicle, near the engine. You guess the rest.

doesn't have to be an accident...Hubby was driving a Buick he purchased from his uncle. On the way to work, a fire started under the hood. First responder was a cop that pulled out his fire extinguisher and it was empty. By the time the fire dept showed up, the fire was in the front seat of the car. It burned so hot the key was burned into the ignition and laying on the floor of the car... Wasn't an accident or arson. Needed a report to turn in to the insurance co..

doesn't have to be an accident.

Then (1) why did he leave, and (2) who crashed it into the bridge?

[goat granny]

I was pointing out it didn't HAVE to be an accident. Our car on fire was no accident, wiring under the hood started the fire. We needed a police report for insurance purposes. And I don't know of any law that said you cannot leave the scene of a burning car. Maybe he was drunk, that is a possibility, or he could have just seen flames coming into the car, panics ran into the bridge and left the car to burn.. He just couldn't turn it into an insurance company.

And I don't know of any law that said you cannot leave the scene of a burning car.

The law against "leaving the scene of an accident" would apply even to your scenario. Especially because the car not only caught fire, it also smashed into the bridge.

who would abandon the owner of a Lamborghini?
