Staten Island Jets Fan's Celebration Turns Fatal

A Staten Island man who decided to celebrate the Jets’ stunning upset of the New England Patriots yesterday by going sledding on his driveway was killed after he skidded into the street and was struck by an SUV, cops said.


Raymond Larsen, 46, had been watching the game in his home on Cleveland Avenue in Great Kills when he went outside around 8:50 p.m. with a plastic disc to use as a sled.

A police source said it’s believed he’d been drinking while watching the game.

After Larsen landed in the middle of the road, a 2006 Hyundai SUV ran him over.

He was rushed to Staten Island University South, where he died.


The driver stayed at the scene and no charges were filed.
