There is a headline in today's "The Home News Tribune", a central New Jersey paper based out of the Woodbridge area that has this as the headline:

Two-car crash sends 2 to hospital

Published in the Home News Tribune 4/30/04

Unfortunately, there's no story behind the headline.

I'm heading over that direction later today, I'll pick up a copy of the actual paper to check it out.

This is probably what it was about:

HEADLINE: N.J. Governor Uninjured in Two-Car Crash

DATELINE: LAWRENCE, N.J.

BODY:
A car carrying Gov. James E. McGreevey collided with another vehicle Wednesday afternoon, aides said. McGreevey was not hurt, but one of his aides and the driver of the other vehicle and her passenger were taken to hospitals, police said.

The crash occurred at 3:15 p.m. as a state trooper was driving McGreevey from the governor's mansion in Princeton to the Statehouse in Trenton, according to McGreevey spokesman Micah Rasmussen.

The driver of the other vehicle was trying to enter a gas station and cut across two lanes when her car and the governor's vehicle collided, according to state police Lt. Al Della Fave. She was issued a summons for failure to yield to oncoming traffic.

State police said the governor's aide, Sean Brennan, had a minor hand injury and was taken to a hospital. The other driver and a passenger were also taken to a hospital, and were expected to be treated and released, Della Fave said.

After checking to make sure the injured were tended to, McGreevey continued on to the Statehouse in another vehicle and went back to work in his office, aides said

I was struck by one of the obituaries. But it does not pertain to the accident. But there are a lot of Polish people covered by this paper/community:
