Charlotte, North Carolina Driver Christopher Attinelli Killed on I-10
CHARLOTTE, NC – Authorities have identified 47-year-old Christopher Attinelli as the man driving a 1998 Ford Mustang eastbound on I-10 when, at approximately 9 p.m. Wednesday night, the car veered off across the median into oncoming westbound traffic. Seconds after Attinelli reached the I-10 West, a 2000 Toyota truck slammed into the passenger side of the vehicle instantly killing the driver, according to law enforcement.
Attinelli was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two people in the truck suffered only minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
Police don’t know as of yet why Attinelli’s Mustang entered the median and crossed into the westbound lanes of I-10.
The 2000 Toyota pickup truck was driven by 22-year-old Nixon Alexander of Baton Rouge.
Attinelli, who was not wearing his seatbelt, was ejected from the Mustang and sustained fatal injuries from the crash. Alexander and a passenger in his Toyota were properly restrained and suffered only minor injuries.
Impairment on the part of Attinelli is unknown at this time; however, Troopers have submitted a toxicology sample from Attinelli to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
Test results should be completed on Thursday or early Friday morning.

Chris was and is a dear friend to me and I would just like everyone to know who reads this that I truly believe in my heart that Chris was not under the influence of any mood altering substance. I could be wrong but I feel in my heart that he either nodded off or was driving too fast for conditions. I would like to show my love for everyone that is in grieving and my prayers are with all of you. Lets look forward to the day when we will see our loved one again.
