PART ONE
PHILADELPHIA - A state-owned vehicle carrying Gov. Ed Rendell's wife was struck broadside at a Philadelphia intersection, authorities said. She was wearing a seat belt and unhurt. Midge Rendell, 59, a federal appeals judge, was being driven by a state trooper Tuesday night when the SUV was hit by a luxury car that ran a red light, according to state police. The car hit the front driver's side of the SUV. Two people in the luxury car were taken to the hospital with back, shoulder and head pain. Nobody in the SUV was injured, state police and the first lady's office said.
State police could not immediately confirm if the driver of the car was cited. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. In April, New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine was nearly killed in a car crash as his state trooper-driven SUV sped along a highway at 91 mph in a 65 mph zone. Corzine was not wearing a seat belt. He has since apologized to his state and released a public service announcement urging people to wear seat belts.
Response- Safety Belts, Traffic Safety and the safety of wearing seat belts.
