I wonder what the fallout will be if it turns out to be an illegal that hit him.

including 12 ribs and a femur that protruded through the skin of his thigh... Egads, not only was this man in a horrible accident, he's anatomically challenged as well. :-/

A broken femur is not a fun recovery. :-(

Robert Ostrum, chief of orthopedic trauma surgery at the hospital, said the governor will need more surgeries, probably tomorrow and Monday, because of the femur fracture that pushed the bone through the skin of his leg.
Doctors inserted a metal rod in his bone and fastened it in place with screws. But they did not put a cast on his leg or close the wound. For now the leg is wrapped in a bandage because they will have to surgically cleanse the wound to prevent infection from setting in.
“He has responded well, but he does have significant injuries,” Ostrum said last night, also describing the governor’s ailments as “multi-system injuries.” The doctor said Corzine faces months of physical therapy.

Broken ribs at that age is deadly and is a very difficult and long recovery. Not only painful, but likely aspiration pnumonia, lung damage, infection, etc...
Best wishes to Corzine and his family.

Wow, what a mess he’s in. I doubt he’ll be able to govern for a while. Or do much of anything.

Last I heard this was a hit and run accident. I don’t really believe much in accidents. Someone done screwed up big time. Accident means two people came together without anyone being at fault.

Do you have any indication that an illegal alien slammed into him?

a flap-like cut on his skull, which was a plastic surgeon stitched back together. No worries, Mr. Corzine. This cut was just a little plastic surgeon. It's from the "Doctor Ken and Nurse Barbie" set, I think.

Do you have any indication that an illegal alien slammed into him?None at all. I was just musing.

including 12 ribs and a femur that protruded through the skin of his thigh... I guess the femur was protruding OUT, and the ribs were protruding IN... ;->

The governor had an accident? Maybe he should have done what he was told.

Was he wearing a seat belt?According to all the articles I've seen this morning, it's "unclear". Does NJ have a seatbelt law?
