Reno cited in fender bender
Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was cited for causing a fender bender Friday afternoon in Marathon.
Reno, 66, of Miami, was driving a 1999 Ford pickup south on U.S. 1 just north of 109th Street when she apparently failed to stop and struck the rear-end of a 1999 Ford Explorer driven by Kenneth John Michels, 52, of Key Colony Beach, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report by Cpl. C. Scott. Michels had stopped for the red traffic light, according to the report.
Michels was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The crash occurred about 2:30 p.m. in front of the Office Depot complex.
The front bumper of Reno's truck was lying in the roadway after the crash. The truck was towed away from the scene by Florida Keys Towing.
Monroe County Sheriff's Capt. Bob Peryam drove Reno to Key West as a courtesy, Sheriff's Office spokesman Greg Artman said.
Reno was cited on a charge of careless driving.
I was thinking the same thing. In 2001 I totalled a 200 F150 when a car cut me off. The bumper was still on the truck.
One on a lighter note the lady in the ford exploder should be happy, the Amazon Panzer attorrney general's other ride is a tank.
She has a 13 year old girl in there.
