After Corzine's accident, the initial spin was some guy in a red truck caused the accident.

After a serious search for this reckless driver, we learned that they had found the driver and he would not be charged as he was disabled, mentally.

Now it appears the truth is a little murkier.

MSNBC reports that Corzine's driver was cruising along at a brisk speed of 91 miles per hour, 26 miles per hour over the speed limit. The state trooper had the lights flashing as it approached the truck from behind. The other cars involved in the accident appear to have been responding to the speeding Governor, approaching too quickly from the rear.
The New York Times wrote more extensively on the issue. Corzine, who was on his way to participate in a meeting with Imus and the Rutgers athletes, was injured because the truck tried to get out of his way and swerved. This was not an emergency meeting that would have required Corzine to risk life and limb to attend. The trooper drove the vehicle in a reckless manner that resulted in life threatening injuries for the governor and untold attention and embarrassment for the poor guy in the red truck.
The guy in the red truck should be thankful for little black boxes. And he should be asking if the trooper was speeding at Corzine's direction.
