Best I can tell, Corzine is lucky to be alive. He was thrown from the front seat into the third row (according to press reports). Crashes like this, when involving SUVs, usually roll over. That because that SUV is so unstable. One in four roll overs involve fatalities. Apparently his driver did a spectacular job of avoiding that roll over.
Corzine's SUV had plenty of room to avoid the white truck. But his SUV hit that white truck suggesting a collision caused the SUV to swear significantly. Swerving so great that the SUV could not use that room to safely pass a white truck. SUVs easily roll over once they swerve like that.
Meanwhile, why is the Governor's convoy driving at such excessive speeds? 20+ MPH difference from cars in other lanes is excessively dangerous. Can't he leave early enough to meet Imus like everyone else? Why is that question also not being asked? In the same county, a state trooper was doing the same excessive speeding and killed two sisters. At what point do we hold those in power responsible for their actions?
Just a few more questions that ask about the bigger picture.
