In other words, he DID NOT cause the accident, and the notion that he did cause the accident was simply floated by the Governor’s office to cover up the fact that the Governor’s vehicle was violating the law.
I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the driver "DID NOT" cause the accident. All we know so far is that he has not been charged.
Your possible explanation is one of two I have considered reasonable so far.
Y’know, in all the articles about this, I haven’t heard a single thing about the driver of the white truck that actually forced the Guv’s SUV into the guardrail. We know that that truck had to swerve to miss the red truck (supposedly), but I haven’t read whether that driver is all right, if he had to go to the hospital, will he be charged, nothing.

I think you are right. I appears that Corzine’s car was exceeding the speed limit (I guess he wanted to get to meet Imus.) I have no doubt that the red car probably merged from the shoulder onto the road without allowing for the speed of the cars on the parkway...they go incredibly too fast...but from all accounts, his merging onto the road forced ANOTHER car into the lane of Corzine’s car, whose driver then avoided the accident by hitting the guard rail rather than the car. It would be hard to prove that the car that went into Corzine’s lane had no other choice than to do so...who’s to say that he or she didn’t overreact and cause the accident.
Right!
The Governor broke two laws: speeding and not wearing his seatbelt. His third mistake was speeding to help moderate a discussion between Don Imus & those Rutgers girls. This was and is a tempest in a teapot and the governor should have better things to do considering the huge problems in NJ. I’m ashamed of him and my state.
That said, I hope he speedily recovers.
