This is pretty scary — and not just for Gov. Jon Corzine. Anyone who has driven a major highway in New Jersey knows the danger we are in nearly every second we are on the roads.
The picture above is from The New York Times. Look closely and you can see the governor’s SUV perched on a guardrail, hanging over. Other shots in other papers show that the damage was pretty bad.
I can only go back to my own accident a year and a half ago at the intersection of Deans Rhode Hall Road and Cranbury Road. We collided with a pickup truck at the intersection and banked off it into a telephone pole. Luckily, no one was hurt, but I remember the whole thing unfolding in slow-motion and the airbag deploying. My wife was driving and she said I was sort of chanting “no, no.” It was a horrible experience.
I can only imagine what went thorugh the governor’s mind and the mind of the other passengers and I wish him well in his recovery.
