I don't think so. The orignal one I read back in the late 80's had the "detailed" recollection of that event. It happened when he was driving back from New Jersey after playing a tennis tournament with his dad (where he slipped in spoiled milk) because Gia had called him at his dad's house to tell him Nellie had just dissapeared too. He almost told his dad about the incedent then while they were drinking whiskey, but didn't.
As he drives under "that" underpass on the ride back ( could have been a tunnel) it all comes back to him. In detail.
He even speeds a little, setting his cruise control at four over the speed limit, on the ride back to Gia.
The next time he really get's into that moment is in Gateways, when he finaly does tell his dad what he did.
