Nick Bisignano

From Rofflehaus

Nick Bisignano (? – December 27, 2004) was the son of Tony Bisignano (former state senator of Iowa) that died in a car crash on December 27, 2004. The car was being driven over 90 mph by Bisignano and struck a wall, took down two poles and subsequently dragged one for a block until the car came to a stop on its top at the corner of SE 5th Street & E Pleasantview Drive in Des Moines. Bisignano had a BAC (0.204) more than twice that of the legal limit (0.08) while his passanger, Corey Wheeler, was completely sober. Wheeler survived the crash but had

burst right eardrum (permanently deaf now)
fractured:
- seven bones in his face
- two vertebrae
- skull
- nose
- wrist
- collarbone
- 12 ribs

Bisignano had drank illegally purchased alcohol by Gino Pane whom pled guilty on August 19, 2005 and sentenced to two years in prison on September 29, 2005.

Bisignano was a star baseball and football player for Lincoln High School and he made himself a shining example of why you shouldn't drink and drive.

The death of Bisignano has spurred yet another bill with a purpose of legislating government paternity. Although it has not been passed, it is referred to as Nick's Law.

Tony Bisignano: "I told the kids, 'I saw the car. I saw Nick's body. Not much can bother me after that. I know my son better now that he's dead than I knew him when he was alive."
