Woodbridge man found dead in field after hit-and-run
by Tom Haydon/The Star-Ledger Monday October 20, 2008, 5:35 PM
The body of a Woodbridge man was found in a field early Sunday morning by a man walking his dog, according to police.
Today, police said they believe Leo Barnaby, 40, died of head injuries sustained when his 1997 Mercury Cougar struck a dump truck and three parked vehicles late Saturday night, Lt. Thomas Gennarelli said.
Genarelli said the hit-and-run accident involving the dump truck took place on Rahway Avenue just before 11 p.m. Saturday. Officers investigating the crash also found three parked cars hit on Yale Avenue, where Barnaby lived, according to the lieutenant.
The damaged Cougar was parked in Barnaby's driveway, the airbag deployed, the windshield smashed, and the interior bloodied, the lieutenant said.
But officers were unable to find the driver until about 8:50 a.m. Sunday, when the man walking the dog called police to report a body in a field off Mereline Drive in the Avenel section of the township, not far from Barnaby's home.
An autopsy was scheduled for today.
I'd met Leo a few times at the tracks and have been to his old shop twice as well during car drop offs/pick ups. He was real good at what he did.

Now with some bolt ons and Cartek tuning - 11.1@123.5mph
How ironic is this. Leo drove 200+mph cars for a living and was never scathed. He drives on the street under normal conditions and gets killed. Life is fucked up sometimes!

Man that sucks.
I met Leo a few times down here in Florida, he helped me at the track one night with my Pro Streeter and was engaged to a friend of mine and my ex'es.
He was a great guy and will sadly be missed by many who knew him.
God bless his family.
Wow, didn't realize it was a year already. Time fly's by. I still miss him alot. I was by his old shop not long ago, his partner Bobby moved the shop just recently to a new location but I am still a customer there, Bobby is great.
