AP — CAMDEN, N.J. — Gov. Jon S. Corzine was apparently not wearing his seat belt as required by law when his official SUV crashed into a guard rail, leaving the governor hospitalized in critical condition, a spokesman said Friday.

A state trooper was driving Corzine to a meeting between Don Imus and the Rutgers women’s basketball team Thursday night when another vehicle, swerving to avoid a pickup truck, hit the governor’s SUV and sent it into the guard rail on the Garden State Parkway.

The crash broke the governor’s leg, six ribs, his sternum and a vertebrae. Authorities were searching for the pickup truck driver blamed for causing it.

jay: what’s amazing to me about this story is that IMUS is involved in it. imus is becoming the ‘where’s waldo?’ of news stories. i see him! he’s causing a car accident! and hosting a telethon! and cavorting with robert mugabe with the hopes of improving his image!
