(CBS/AP) TRENTON -- New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine -- critically injured in an April 12 car crash -- will resume his work as governor on Monday, a spokesman said.
"The governor expects to return to work on Monday," Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley said Saturday.
Corzine was injured in an April 12 crash along the Garden State Parkway that left him with a broken left leg, 11 broken ribs, a broken collarbone and sternum, among other injuries.
He spent 18 days in a Camden hospital, much of it in intensive care. He underwent three surgeries on his leg and needed to use a ventilator to breathe for more than a week.
Senate President Richard J. Codey has been acting governor since Corzine's injuries.
The Democrat was released from the hospital on Monday and has been rehabilitating at the governor's mansion in Princeton, where he's expected to work until he has recovered enough to return to the Statehouse.
Corzine's SUV was traveling at 91 mph in a 65 mph zone just north of Atlantic City, heading to a meeting at the governor's mansion in Princeton, when the crash happened.
The meeting was with just-fired radio show host Don Imus and the members of the Rutgers women's basketball team, about racially insensitive comments made by Imus.
The crash happened when the governor's SUV was clipped by a pickup truck and slammed into a guard rail. The pickup had swerved to avoid another vehicle that was trying to get out of the way of the governor's SUV.
Corzine wasn't wearing his seat belt, as required by state, but he voluntarily paid a $46 fine and apologized to the state.
"I'll work very hard to try to set the right kind of example to make a difference in people's lives as we go forward," he said as he left the hospital.
Heaven forbid the people of New Jersey figure out they elected the wrong Democrat to be Governor.
“Heaven forbid the people of New Jersey figure out they elected the wrong Democrat to be Governor”.
...There’s a right Democrat to be Governor?
I understand that when his convoy drove him from the hospital back to the governor’s mansion, they went 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.
Is he now planning to speed when he drives to work?
I’m still wondering why the Governor had to be “where he was going” and that was more important than governing the State. I guess they couldn’t make a decision without him. Duh!
I’ll give Corzine this though. He’s one tough SOB. Most people would have died under these circumstances.
Lots of folks to shake down.
Lots of corruption to oversee.
That’s the way of N.J. politics.
I think that the Doctors and Nurses and others at the medical facility where he was treated must be most excellent.
Hey! It’s Joisey.
Ya takes what ya can gets.
there is no truth in the stories.If his injuries were as true and detailed as described,he cannot lead walk or anything w/o mind numbing drugs. I knew he would return to work, if he did not die because of all he has to protect to keep his. Something smells here
that FPOS should have to pay for ALL his medical bills out of his OWN POCKET since it was HIS decision to flout the law!!!
Will he speed on the way to work?
Is this an announcement or a warning to drivers that he will be back on the NJ roadways?
Probably. He was clocked leaving the hospital at speeds up to 20 mph OVER the limit. No word on whether his wheelchair was equipped with a seatbelt. But, but, but, he apologised. All better now. This guy would be well advised to steer clear of the state helecopters.
A rich arrogant AH pays no attention to laws that only apply to the little people who are stupid enough to elect them in the first place.
I have no pity for someone that is arrogant enough to escape death once only to tempt it again. Some people never, ever learn.
“Corzine will return to work on Monday.”
Oh, wow! What a relief!
