According to today's newscast and local paper, the drivers (state troopers) were quoted as saying that whenever one of them would ask the Governor to buckle up in the past he got testy. Despite the protection of a Chevy Suburban, he really got tossed about. According to the driver and rear seat passenger Corzine was thrown on impact and wound up in the rear compartment of the vehicle. He's 6'3" and probably 200+ pounds, it's just a good thing he didn't hurt the rear seat passenger on his way flying to the back of the vehicle. The driver and passenger who were both belted walked away from the accident. With 12 broken ribs, a broken sternum, 2 fractured vertebrae, a crushed clavicle and double compound fracture of the right leg, he's going to need at least 6 months of rehab according to the doctors. My physician was quoted in the article and he said he'd be in a wheel chair for quite a while since he couldn't use crutches for the broken leg due to all the upper body fractures. I guess from now on he won't give the trooper/chauffeurs a hard time when they ask him to buckle up.
