April Fool’s Day Car Fire

Sandra Cicatiello was driving on Stonytown Road in Manhasset on April Fool’s Day and she smelled smoke. The car belongs to her sister, Diane Basile, owner of Diane’s Place Hair Salon in Port Washington. Cicatiello, who also works at Diane’s Place, pulled over and another driver yelled to her to get out of the car because it was on fire. As soon as she got out of the car, the windows shattered and flames engulfed the car. Luckily, Cicatiello wasn’t hurt. Basile said, “I thought she was playing an April Fool’s joke on me when she called and said the car was on fire.” The car, unfortunately, was totaled.
