 Thursday 12 April 2007 - New Jersey Governor Corzine Critically Injured in Motor Vehicle Crash
  • Governor Jon S. Corzine (D-New Jersey) was badly hurt in an accident involving his SUV, at the time being driven by a State Trooper, along the Garden State Parkway near Atlantic City earlier this evening. The Governor was airlifted to a hospital in Camden, NJ where- after surgery- he was listed in critical, but stable, condition with a broken leg and numerous chest injuries.
  • State Senate President Richard Codey (Democrat) has taken over, for the time being, as Acting Governor of the State pending Governor Corzine's recovery; this is Senator Codey's third stint as the State's Acting Governor, the longest such service being in the wake of the resignation of former Governor Jim McGreevey back in 2004.
