(CBS) GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine was injured Thursday night in a car accident on the Garden State Parkway, but a spokesman says the injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine was elected governor of New Jersey in November 2006, soundly beating Republican businessman Doug Forrester in a race that set records for campaign spending but alienated voters with its mean-spirited politicking. With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Corzine had 53 percent to Forrester's 44 percent.

Increased chest pain?

Clearly he wasn’t wearing his seat belt this time.

After all, why should he......he’s the gov you know.

Adult back seat passengers aren't required to buckle up in New Jersey - or most other states, as far as I know. If Corzine was in the front seat, he'd have been violating the law by not wearing a seat belt.

That post was from a scanner listening in NJ who heard the incident live.

[PghBaldy]

I hope he recovers completely and quickly.

[sissyjane]

Everyone in CA. has to wear seat belts, no matter where you sit.

[Fudd Fan]

That was my thought. I’ll apologize to God if I find I am wrong.

[Fresh Wind]

Hit and run? Was Jack Cafferty in the area?

[sissyjane]

Hope he’s okay, and thanks for the info.

I don’t like him, but don’t want anything to happen to him. Well......okay, I’m leaving it there.

[RushCrush]

I bet it was the SUV’s fault.

[BurbankKarl]

I am wearing a seatbelt at my office chair.

ROFL!

[Fudd Fan]

And we will welcome you.

McQueery ( McGreevey ) broke his leg in Cape May under questionable circumstances . Rough sex ????

[sissyjane]

I’ll wear one at dinner. Wouldn’t want to fall off and miss anything.

Any news on his immediate family, his cousins, his distant cousins, or his neighborhood supermarket?

Did Corzine endorse Obama?

Want to bet that that law will be coming to New Jersey soon?
