THE SAD CASE OF CURTIS C. DUNN
Dunn was the tractor-trailer driver involved in the December 1972 accident that took the life of the newly-elected U.S. Senator’s first wife, Neilia Biden, and 13-month-old daughter, Naomi.
The facts are that Joe Biden’s wife accidentally drove into the path of the tractor-trailer. She was killed, along with their baby daughter. His two sons were seriously injured.
For decades, Joe Biden lied about the cause of the accident as he exploited the accident to promote his candidacy. He shamefully changed the details of the story, claiming the driver was drunk and responsible for the accident.
Alcohol was not involved. Somehow the police reports were lost. But, fortunately, Delaware Superior Court Judge Jerome O. Herlihy, who oversaw the police investigation as chief prosecutor, remembered. He said there is no evidence supporting Biden’s claim.
“The rumor about alcohol being involved by either party, especially the truck driver (Dunn), is incorrect,” Herlihy said in 2008.
Police determined that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of Dunn’s tractor-trailer, possibly because her head was turned and she didn’t see the oncoming truck.
Dunn did everything he could to avoid hitting the car. He even overturned his rig while swerving to avoid a collision. He ran to the wrecked car and was the first to render assistance.
Police filed no charges against Dunn, who at that time lived in North East, Md. with his wife, Ruby, and their seven children.
Beginning in the new Millenium, Biden started to embellish the story, seemingly for political gain. During a speech in 2001, Biden told an audience at the University of Delaware that a drunken driver crashed into his family.
He told a similar story during a public appearance in 2007.
The vice-presidential candidate’s misrepresentation of Dunn found its way into major newspapers, including the New York Times.
It also has been repeated on radio and on television by major news journalists, including CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric.
A video of Biden making his unfounded assertion during a public appearance in 2007 was particularly disturbing.
Biden told the crowd, “A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly and killed my daughter instantly and hospitalized my two sons …
Mr. Dunn was tormented by the accident for years.
The tragedy for Biden of losing his wife and daughter is very sympathetic, but embellishing it and accusing an innocent man of drunk driving is not.
This story is so frustrating, because most people will never hear about this. Has this woman tried going to a local media outlet to tell her story? Somehow these things need to find a larger audience than just online conservative sites. Preaching to the choir.
>>Biden started to embellish the story, seemingly for political gain.<<
SEEMINGLY? How about the accurate ASSUREDLY.
Campaign ads about Biden lying about this innocent man could help remind people he is not a good man.
I read an article recently suggesting that if anyone was under the influence of anything that day it was Mrs. Biden. So there’s no truth to that?
This is not a revelation on Biden’s first wife. When I first read all I could bout in back in 2008, I wondered if she was trying to commit suicide once she found out that Joe was having an affair with Jill? Because it was during that time that Jill, while being married to someone else, was spending a lot of time with Joe.
Since Biden was most likely having an affair with a married woman by then, you have to wonder if the crash was suicide?
Rinse repeat and you have the life-history of Joe Cornpop Biden.
given the hard drives, incest, hair sniffing,
and trafficking, perhaps it was not accidental?
A bit off topic, but this is why I think we need restructuring of our legal system. It should not be that your likelihood of obtaining justice is contingent upon how much you can spend on an attorney.
I think that Nielia knew Joe was going to leave her for Jill soon. It may have been an act of desperation. I wonder if she left a note and Joe burned it?
Joe Biden is an appalling politician who lies repeatedly. He has a number of stock stories that he trots out constantly:
1. His wife and baby struck down by a drunk driver rather than the truth (wife pulled out in front a truck and got smashed).
2. His life long ties to Scranton, Pennsylvania (his family moved out of Scranton seventy years ago).
3. His middle class lifestyle (He is a multimillionaire who has profited from his elected office).
Maybe it was Ted?
Typical dem narrative - repeat a lie long enough and it becomes "truth".
Yes, and BUYden is using the story in his TV ads. Duplicitous scumbag that he is.
Premade “character” commercial.
There you go...case closed! The GOP made the report disappear.And as for Judge Herlihy...Russian agent!
If the report was available we'd see that the truck driver was legless drunk,his wife was a victim and Big Alcohol and Big Trucking and that the fact that he married Doctor Jill a week after the funerals meant nothing.
I have had those same thought the last couple of days. Was Joe starting to fool around with his daughter? Did the wife object and threaten to out him? Kid of like Hunter's ex wife objecting and not letting their daughter go over and see him anymore?
THIS in ITSELF is the reason why LYIN” BIDEN should NEVER be President!! He RUINED this man’s life and family....RUINED THEM!
