New York Daily News – Daily Dish: “James Gandolfini got whacked yesterday – by a taxi. The ‘Sopranos’ star was riding his Vespa up Hudson near Clarkson around 10:30 a.m. when a cab knocked him off his scooter. Passerby Sameer Sheikh told The News that the cabbie and passers-by helped the TV mobster to his feet. ‘I’m all right,’ he said. ‘I’m fine.’ Gandolfini’s rep doubted the scratched-up actor would pursue a claim against the cabbie. His Vespa is in the repair shop.”
Thanks to Clay E. for the tip! I guess not ALL the cabbies are lookin’ out for scooters in NYC.
If you can stand the flashing banners and pop-ups, you can read a better version of the story here.
