Governor Jon Corzine is severely injured when the SUV driven by a state trooper in which he was a passenger loses control and crashes into a guardrail. His injuries, which required multiple surgeries and weeks of rehabilitation, included a fractured left leg, sternum, collarbone, six ribs on each side and a lower vertebra. The Governor was on his way to a meeting at the Governor's Mansion in Princeton with radio personality Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team after the controversy provoked when Imus referred to the team as "nappy-headed hoes" on his CBS radio show. Shortly before the scheduled meeting, CBS announced that it had fired Imus.
