Drunk-Driving Wall Street Mogul Mows Down 9/11 Survivor

Wall Street millionaire executive George Anderson was charged with vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and driving while intoxicated Friday after his Mercedes SUV allegedly blasted Florence Cioffi, 59, into the air while she was crossing the street in Manhattan. He sped away then came back, but refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test.

The accident happened at around 11 P.M. Anderson was heading home to Long Island from a New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden. Cioffi, of Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn, had been to dinner with friends.

Anderson was arraigned and released on $250,000 bail.

Cioffi was pronounced dead at New York Downtown Hospital. She was a secretary at the accounting firm Frankel & Co., who escaped death in the World Trade Center tragedy of 9/11, having gone out for coffee just before the first plane struck.
