Before crashing into a metal guardrail along the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine's SUV was traveling 91 miles per hour just north of Atlantic City in a 65 mph zone, officials disclosed Tuesday.
The crash, which occurred last week in Galloway Township, occurred as Corzine was traveling in his official vehicle Thursday to the governor's mansion in Princeton, N.J., to host a meeting between Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team whom Imus racially offended last week on his radio show.
Governor Corzine, who reportedly wasn't wearing his seat belt, was thrown from the front passenger's seat to the back, according to the state police statement.

If you drive a newer vehicle there's a good chance it has a black box.
Well, the laws of nature can’t be fooled by prestige or position. He’s lucky to be alive.
Thank goodness he didn’ hurt anyone else.
91 MPH? I can hardly convict him for that.

Five seconds -- yes, it was likely the "Black Box" event data recorder (actually the little gizmo is silver) that records all sorts of interesting things right before the airbags deploy and it's been in the big GM SUVs for about 10 years. Ford uses 'em, too.
I'll take a wild guess that Ford and GM were getting tired of taking all the blame when, say, someone tries to take a Ford Explorer on underinflated tires around a corner like a BMW Sauber Formula 1 car and then sues them for the result.
You can do an internet search and find which manufacturers put the little gizmos things in their cars, and which don't.
Dems act the way they really feel - their sweet liberal talk is for useful idiot voters.
Whitman did it too. “I didn’t know how fast the trooper was going but I take full responsibility.” Poof! goes the responsibility.
And she is a Republican of sorts.
Even Republicans for real in power aren’t always humble.
Mrs Vs
Governor Corzine, I support your right to drive/ride with out your seat-belt “ON”. Only next time try for 121 Mph:-()
May he get well soon...the stupid putz.
I rule the state, and get the f$%k out of my the way. I’m on my way to a apologize fest and you can’t stop me. I’m much more important than you, you are filth, get down in front of your Emperor. Bow in front of the Jon Corzine, and do it NOW! Sounds like horse s$%t to me, but then again, I’m not the Governor of New Jersey, nor would I ever want to be.
Maybe the other person swerved to AVOID Corzine’s car hitting him!!!!
In northern California, if you have a bridge fare transponder (Fastrack), this system can track your travels on all major freeways.
Taking full responsibilty is easy if there are no consequences.
My goodness... he was on a mission from God to save Imass.
Such a patriotic effort surely must not pass unrecognized?
Yes.
He will make sure somebody issues him the appropriate ticket, and he will announce that fact during his "great-to-be-back" press briefing where he apologizes and vows to always buckle up from now on because he learned his lesson the hard way blah blah blah.
JON boy is so damn important he has to go that fast! He’s a First class Moron. Guess they’ll blame it on IMUS.
Limousine liberals have no relationship to common man. The idea of conforming to laws intended for the masses is nonsense.
Royalty need no explanation.
