Last I heard this was a hit and run accident. I don’t really believe much in accidents. Someone done screwed up big time. Accident means two people came together without anyone being at fault.
Although leaving the scene of the accident is almost always inexcusible, don't discount the possibility that the accident could have been caused by the State Trooper, who was behind the wheel of Corzine's car. In my observations after many years of driving, State Troopers (and other LEO) act as if speed limits, the use of directionals, prohibitions against tailgating and cell phones, and other rules of the road are for the little people.
The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has ceased calling events such as this 'accidents'. The official term is 'crashes'. This is about the one and only useful government action taken by the Clinton Administration.
The accident becomes a bit of a Karl Rove-episode. The red truck that caused that accident....left and hasn’t been seen...no tag number either. The other passengers in the governor’s vehicle...barely injured (guessing they both had seat belts on). Their destination...on the way to supervise the Imus and Rudgers basketball squad “discussion”. The whole thing smells fishy and has to be the work of type of conspiracy....because he is a democrat...you know.
“With two of his adult children by his beside, Corzine, sedated and on intravenous painkillers, remains in intensive care in Cooper University Hospital in Camden this morning.”
While I feel bad that Mr. Corzine suffered this tragic event, there is a silver lining in every cloud. He is now closer to the money and his constituency.
” Accident means two people came together without anyone being at fault.”
I think it really means without intent. Most accidents are caused by people who didn’t mean to do what they did, but they’re still responsible civilly, if not criminally. An act of God would cover something that’s no one’s fault.
