Suicidal intent disputed in McDonald's crash A driver killed three workers in the Mt. Ephraim location. His lawyers told a judge he was not rational at the time.
December 10, 2003
In the months before he drove his car into a McDonald's restaurant and killed three workers, Frank Nastasi would use markers to draw imaginary security keypads on the doors of his furniture store.
Then he would poke at the numbered buttons he had drawn, in an attempt to set the alarm.
Expert witnesses disclosed the episodes yesterday during a pretrial hearing that examined Nastasi's mental state before and after the May 15, 2002, crash in Mount Ephraim. State Superior Court Judge Samuel Natal is holding the hearing to decide whether statements the Haddon Heights man made to police after the accident about being suidical would be admissable at trial.
A psychologist and psychiatrist testified for the defense that they had found Nastasi deeply depressed and psychotic in the months after the crash. They said doctors who had evaluated him within hours of the crash also had determined he was psychotic.
Defense attorneys contend Nastasi was not responsible for his actions because he was psychotic and manic at the time of the crash. They said detectives had coaxed him into saying he was trying to commit suicide.
Today, prosecutors will make their case that Nastasi was trying to commit suicide and is legally liable for his actions.
Nastasi, 53, was driving his wife's Cadillac when he veered off the Black Horse Pike about 4 a.m. and crashed into the McDonald's. The car was going 96 to 111 m.p.h., authorities said, and became airborne, smashing through a play area and dining room before slamming into the kitchen.
The crash killed late-shift workers Cynthia Molino, 45, and Joanne Marie Bowen, 52, both of Mount Ephraim, and Nancy King, 49, of Audubon.
Nastasi, free since posting $375,000 bail, is charged with three counts of aggravated manslaughter. A trial date has not been set.
James Conley, an assistant Camden County prosecutor, said Nastasi had been depressed and had intended to commit suicide when he drove into the McDonald's.
But Nastasi's attorney, Charles Nugent, contends that detectives questioned his client while he was medicated in a hospital bed and suffering from a concussion and mental illness. Nastasi was not sure who the investigators were, thinking they were possibly reporters or relatives giving him legal advice, Nugent said.
In his taped statement to the detectives a day after the crash, Nastasi said he had been distraught from job and family pressures, including the health of his father, who he feared might soon die.
I've got a story not as brutal and doesn't involve McDonalds
Double decker bridge over the Ohio river today on the top level a guy got a flat tire. He stopped. Someone stopes to help while they were fixing someone wasn't paying attention and wrecked into the car of the person helping sending it forward at the people the accident caused the guy with a flat tire to get launched off the bridge and plummet a good 100 feet into the river.
Body still not found.
