A witness last night indicated speed was not a factor in the crash. The man, who State Police confirmed was a witness to the accident, told The Star-Ledger he was driving alongside the governor’s SUV moments before the crash. The man, who asked not to be named because State Police told him not to speak to the media, said both his vehicle and the SUV were going 65 mph, the posted speed limit on that part of the Parkway. The governor’s two-car motorcade was traveling with flashing lights on at the time of the crash.
If both vehicles were going the posted limit, why should he be muzzled by the cops? Maybe the cops figured he would talk nonetheless, and made it clear to him what story to tell?
When you talk to someone with a gun strapped on their hip, it’s smart to tell them exactly what they want to hear. (His boss, his co-worker, they were not speeding, and that you yourself were not speeding.)
Can the police prevent him from speaking? The police must be afraid of something.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm Two or three little items.....
1. Why were the RED FLASHING LIGHTS necessary if the Govs motorcade were only traveling 65 on the interstate?
2. Why was the motorcade traveling in the LEFT lane if they were only going 65? ALL states have signs posted on the interstate which say something like “SLOWER DRIVERS KEEP RIGHT” The Gov would have been a “slower driver” if he was only going 65. It was the Interstate after all and there has been no mention of stop and go rush hour traffic etc.... Most drivers would have been speeding...(Faster than 65)
3. If the Gov was only going 65 the RED TRUCK would have witnessed the accident. He was right there. However at a high rate of speed which would take the Gov rapidly further on down the road before the final stopping point after impact, the red truck may not have realized he had anything to do with it He either had to pull up when the traffic slowed down and stopped for the accident, or he was able to continue on pass the wreck.
BIG question about the red truck...
How do you NOT notice that an accident has occured near you?....
Oh pluueezz, and he was supposed to say “ well officer, I was going going at least 25 miles over the limit when YOUR BOSS passed me”
Love it. Just between me, you and the lamppost...
