Something else to lay at Imus' door
New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine seriously hurt in car crash:CAMDEN, N.J - Gov. Jon S. Corzine will be unable to resume his duties as governor for several days, in the least, and he won’t walk normally for months after a car accident left him hospitalized with serious injuries, a doctor said.
Corzine, 60, was in critical condition Friday after undergoing two hours of surgery Thursday night to repair his broken leg and other injuries sustained in the crash on the Garden State Parkway in Galloway Township.
“He’s got a pretty significant rehab in front of him,” said Dr. Robert Ostrum, who performed the surgery at Cooper University Hospital in Camden.
The crash occurred around 6 p.m., State Police Superintendent Rick Fuentes said.
Corzine was riding in the front passenger’s seat of a sport utility vehicle - driven by a state trooper - and was en route from Atlantic City to the governor’s mansion in Princeton to moderate a meeting between the Rutgers women’s basketball team and radio personality Don Imus....
The SUV was struck by a white pickup that swerved to avoid a red pickup that had swerved from the shoulder onto the highway, Fuentes said. The governor’s vehicle, driven by Trooper Robert Rasinski, clipped the white pickup and slid into a guardrail.
Fuentes and Ross said it was unclear whether the governor was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash. Authorities were still searching for the red pickup and its driver.
Richard Codey is once again Acting Governor. He took the role before when former Governor (and gay American) Jim McGreevey resigned in 2004.
Phew, damn. Corzine's a pretty OK guy, for a New Jersey politician. Wishing you a speedy recovery, sir.
