CHP Investigating Crash Involving State Senator (Democrat)

This is an interesting one to watch. Late Friday I heard on the radio that she was “disoriented.” By the next morning, I heard she was answering her cell phone and that caused her distraction. As of tonight, reports are coming in from witnesses that she was driving recklessly beforehand, and motorists phoned 911.

On Friday, CHP Officer Marvin Williford issued a statement saying Migden told officers she'd gotten lost and "had missed her exit to an appointment in Marin County."

Uhhh, I thought the accident was in Fairfield. If so, she missed her exit to an appointment in Marin County by a WHOLE BUNCH. Drink? Drugs? Stupid?

Officer Ponch gives his assessment of Midget...

[iowamark]

Since Ms. Migden is a very prominent lesbian Democrat, this will all be covered up.
Any police who try to investigate will be fired and charged with hate crimes.

“Drink? Drugs? Stupid?”......California Democrat?

“She didn’t seem all there.” Sounds like she seemed EVERYWHERE.

She’s a liberal. What did you expect? Good thing she used the Honda as a buffer(sarcasm).

[KJC1]

Nah, CA is not as liberal as some imagine. CHP is already digging, in other words, more is to come. They did not stop the investigation at “disoriented” or “cell phone.”

There are conflicting reasons given and released to the public.

I think Migden will be toast on this, and it won’t be a sobriety issue. It will be an honesty issue.

[papasmurf]

Oh, sure, it was the cellphone's fault! It's ALWAYS the cellphone's fault!!!

Well, I'll tell you what. The next time you need to make a call, use a can of beer, ok?

:O)

The initial article I read on this said that no drivers were cited.

Uhhh, I thought the accident was in Fairfield. If so, she missed her exit to an appointment in Marin County by a WHOLE BUNCH.

Fairfield? Isn't that where I-505 ties in between I-80/680 and I-5?

[Global2010]

Boy she was way off route.

For those that don’t know the area someone should post a map.

[rod1]

Her mistake was screaming “I’M a Senator”. If only she had screamed “I’m a Kennedy”, the CHP would have simply driven her home and apologized to her for her delay.

[pikachu]

The CHP had ‘unofficial’ orders not to stop then Speaker of the House Willie Brown. He was notorious for speeding, parking illegally, and other offenses. But he knew how to threaten budgets and that is what really counts in this world.

"I noticed the car hit the center median divide and glance off it," says the driver. ... Another driver says he saw Migden hit another center divide after she turned onto Highway 12.

So she hit a median barrier twice before the finale of hitting the car? Sheesh.

[Ben Hecks]

Boy she was way off route.

You go that right. If she was coming up I-80 from the Bay Area, I would have thought she would have turned off on 37 in Vallejo and gone west to Marin County. As I understand it, she was headed eastbound on 12 in Fairfield which would have taken her to Rio Vista and Lodi.

[hsalaw]

Sort of. Fairfield is between Sacramento (I-5) and San Francisco (the I-80/880 split), and about 10 miles west of the I-505 interchange. It’s just east of the I-580 connection. It’s a long way from Marin County.

[stinkerpot65]

Ugh. She's a dude.

[KJC1]

She reminds me of Phil Specter.
