Just a week before Christmas, 1972, the wife of newly-elected Sen. Joe Biden and the couple's baby daughter were killed - and their two sons badly injured - when the Biden family car was broadsided by a truck at an intersection in Delaware.
The truck driver, Curtis Dunn, was never charged in the crash. But, his daughter Pam Hamill says, he too, suffered, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr.
"He grieved over that," Hamill said. "He was haunted and was tormented by that for years."
Dunn died in 1999, but since then his family has endured widespread rumors and reports that he had been drinking just before the collision.
At least twice, Biden himself has made public references to alcohol being involved in the crash. In 2007 Biden said the truck driver "allegedly ... drank his lunch." And multiple news outlets, including CBS News, have reported that Dunn was drunk.
Hamill disputes that - saying her dad had not been drinking.
"The truth is, it was a tragic accident," she said. "No alcohol was involved."
The police reports have been lost, but Delaware Judge Jerome Herlihy, who investigated the crash, supports Hamill's claim.
He told CBS News, "There was no indication that the truck driver had been drinking."
And last fall, a spokesman for Biden said that the senator "fully accepts the Dunn family's word that these rumors were false."
Now Pam Hamill simply wants the record to be cleared, and her father's reputation restored
"He was a good, hard working man and wonderful father," she said.
Wants her father’s name cleared? From people who destroyed Gen.Flynn and Roger Stone? Ain’t gonna happen.
Gee, that's weird......................
Everybody is entitled to their 15 minutes, I guess.
Interesting timing. This is how it will go down... Biden will (very publicly) forgive showing what a mensch of a man he is.
So Biden continues to knowingly hold false witness. But he’s a good Catholic. Goes along with his desire to murder babies.
Was Joe Biden in the car at the time?
Sue thE bastard
No.
The police reports have been lost....
~~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine that. Such a co-incidence.
If he had said it before the truck driver died (in 1999) the truck driver could have sued. The family cannot.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out Biden’s wife was drunk or high on narcotics or just a lousy driver. She ran a stop sign and killed herself and her baby. Biden is just another pathological lying politician.
There was no evidence she was on any substance, and she had her kids wither, including the the baby.
The article is from 2009. And, no, she was not trying for her “15 minutes of fame” as you put it. He publicly said it on the campaign trail at the University of Delaware during the 2008 campaign. The family still lives locally and they did not appreciate having their late father’s name muddied by Biden.
Although, he’s no Teddy Kennedy.
Ahh, so not “15 minutes of fame” but old news.
Got it.
Biden has never demonstrated anything that remotely resembled integrity.
I don’t blame them. Biden is a sociopath, and deserves being called out for his lies.
