According to the
Bergen Record and others, Corzine's SUV had its police lights flashing. The inexperienced driver of the red truck said that's why he slowed down and swerved onto the shoulder - to let the emergency vehicle pass. Some reports said that the white truck went from the left to right lane after the red truck moved over to the shoulder in order to let Corzine's SUV pass. The red truck swerved back onto the parkway when the right wheels went off onto the soft shoulder, according to some reports, so as not to hit a milepost. The driver of the red truck oversteered to get the wheels back onto the pavement, the driver of the white truck reacted, and the rest is history. He thought he had avoided an accident, and didn't think he caused the white truck to crash into Corzine's car.
Also, from the Bergen Record:
A neighbor, Linda Tizol, said Potts seemed frazzled when she saw him leaving the house Saturday morning.
“He just screamed at his Dad: ‘What do they want to lock me up for? It’s not my fault he wasn’t wearing his seat belt,’” Tizol said.
