Imus and Rutgers Claim Another Victim

There's another victim in the Imus vs Rutgers battle - Gov. John Corzine:

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine broke his leg in a hit-and-run automobile accident en route to a meeting with embattled radio host Don Imus and the Rutgers University women's basketball team, a spokesman said on Thursday.

Corzine was flown to a nearby hospital. One local news outlet that tracks police news, Breaking News Network, said he suffered chest pains while being transported to the hospital but that could not be confirmed.

"The governor's motorcade was involved in an accident a short time ago. He has sustained injuries. They do not appear to be life-threatening," said Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley.

We wish a speedy recovery to the governor so he'll be in good health when he's indicted or comes out as a "gay American", the usual course of action for New Jersey governors.

UPDATE: Corzine is listed as critical but stable with an array of injuries that would suggest he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. The aerial photos of the vehicle didn't show that much damage to the vehicle, but it appears he was thrown around in the crash. Is there a mandatory seatbelt law in New Jersey? If if there isn't, riding around without wearing it, even in a government SUV, is just plain dumb.
