State Sen. Carole Migden [D-SF]"looked lost" after the crash, a witness said.

A witness to a collision last Friday involving state Sen. Carole Migden said he was cut off twice by the legislator's Toyota SUV, once forcing him to veer onto the shoulder, before she rear-ended another car.

After the accident on Highway 12 in Solano County, Migden appeared confused, said Adrian Romo of Concord.

"She just looked lost ...," Romo said. "It looked like she was not all there."

The California Highway Patrol, which is investigating the accident, said it got several calls in the 40 minutes or so leading up to the accident from drivers concerned about Migden's driving.

After the accident, Migden, a San Francisco Democrat, passed a field sobriety test, which involves blowing into a medical device to screen for alcohol in the system, Officer Marvin Williford said.

I can understand if she passed the alcohol test. What about the rest of it? Did a DRE examine her?

I can’t see the article because the link requires a login, but the best part of this story is she was talking on her hand held cell phone when she crashed. She backed a bill recently signed into law by the Governator that made it illegal to drive and talk on a hand held cell phone at the same time.

hahha, that IS the best part of the story. Maybe she cannot see well because, I suspect, she has the same plastic surgeon Pelosi has.
