Report blames trooper in crash
From Times Wire Reports
The state trooper who drove Gov. Jon Corzine the night his SUV slammed into a guard rail could have prevented the crash that nearly killed the governor, an accident investigation team reported. It also found Trooper Robert Rasinski violated department rules.
A “black box” recorder showed the SUV to be traveling at 91 mph seconds before the crash. Corzine, who was riding in the front passenger seat, was not wearing a seat belt.
