Governor Corzine has been very fortunate over the last few weeks. Most importantly he is lucky to be alive. He was a passenger in an SUV driving 90 miles an hour and was involved in an accident. He was sitting in the front passenger seat and by law passengers in that seat are required to be buckled in.
Police have determined that a red truck swerved erratically on the interstate and another truck had to swerve to dodge the red truck. The second truck clipped the governor's vehicle without knowing it in the governor's vehicle at the rail.
The governor was injured the most suffering 11 broken ribs and a broken femur into places. He was on a ventilator for several days and he still has a significant amount of physical therapy to endure. He asked for a state forgiveness for setting such a bad example, stating:
"I understand that I set a very poor example for a lot of young people, and people in general," the governor said outside the Cooper University Hospital hospital.
"I hope the state will forgive me," he said.
On the lighter side he's lucky that he escaped receiving a Darwin award nomination. It was not only a legal for him not to wear a seatbelt but it was very stupid. I know several people that worked closely on his campaign, and I know he's not a stupid man. We can all make stupid decisions at times, however be in such a visible position he's going to have to work very hard to make up for this accident.
