Please Wear Your Seatbelts

Posted by on Apr 13, 2007 | 5 Comments

NJ Governor John Corizine is in critical condition after a particularly nasty crash on the Garden State Parkway yesterday. The Governor was on his way back from Atlantic City to Drumthwacket, the Governor’s Mansion in Princeton, where he was to meet with Don Imus and the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. Corizine’s State Trooper driven Chevy Tahoe was cut off, while travelling at speed. The Governor was sitting in the front passenger seat and allegedly was not wearing a seatbelt. Corizine was thrown into the back seat and suffered 12 broken ribs, a broken femur that protruded through his thigh, and other nastiness …

The 60-year-old governor underwent about two hours of surgery last night following the accident near milepost 45 in Galloway Township. Corzine, sedated and on intravenous painkillers, required seven pints of blood, officials said. The breathing tube eases his respiration with the broken ribs, and a broken breastbone. He also suffered a broken collarbone and lower back bone and a flap-like cut on his skull, which a plastic surgeon stitched back together.

PLEASE: WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS, SLOW DOWN, AND WATCH FOR THE OTHER IDIOTS … IT’S USUALLY THEIR FAULT, BUT IT’S YOUR LIFE.

    Totally agree. The same can be said about having a “right-a-way.” LOOK first even though you have a “right-a-way.” It is your life…

    Cheers,

    “Corizine’s State Trooper driven Chevy Tahoe was cut off, while travelling at speed.” At speed? You’re kidding, right? That an understatement! They were traveling at 91MPH. It’s amazing that Corzine wasn’t killed and the troopers severely injured.
