"Puzino said he advised Potts to apologize to the governor. His friend probably will do it if he gets the chance, he said."

I certainly hope Gov. Corzine recovers fully -- sounds like he has a long and difficult path ahead. We don't have all the accident facts (which rarely stops Freeper speculation) but (speculation follows) it may well be that the Gov's SUV was traveling at an excessive rate of speed for merely going to a meeting, not any genuine emergency -- (why would the pickup driver be in such a rush to get off the road unless the SUV was overtaking him very quickly?) --and are they allowed to use emergency flashing lights merely for routine transport of the Gov? Despite the terrible injuries to the Governor, it's far from clear that there's any fault on the part of the pickup truck driver -- he may have been spooked by inappropriate (illegal?) driving by the Gov's driver.... of course, hitting an unpaved shoulder at highway speeds is always a terrible idea, but the kid may have thought he was being chased off the road by emergency vehicles, and split second decisions are not always the best. If this young man had died in a roll-over due to the Gov's SUV doing excessive speed with emergency lights flashing and the Gov had been fine (especially if he'd been wearing his legally mandated seatbelt!!), the situation would look very different now even though the basic facts of the (possible) reckless driving of the Gov's SUV would be the same.

He outta be impeached for abuse of power. The irony is that other people were not injured, due to his lateness and excessive use of speed.

I guess the need for him to be at that meeting made it all ‘worth it’
