Must have been so awful for both John and Joe, given their past experiences.

Trucker cited after I-95 crash with Sen. Biden's wife
By TERRI SANGINITI, The News Journal

A Maryland tractor-trailer driver was cited by state police this morning after he changed lanes on I-95 and collided with a 2001 BMW driven by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden’s wife Jill.

State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Whitmarsh said Duane Vanderbosh, of Perryville, was cited for careless driving following the 9:46 a.m. crash on southbound I-95 south of Del. 141.

No one was seriously injured, he said.

Troopers investigating the two-vehicle crash determined that Vanderbosh, who was operating a 1988 International tractor trailer, was southbound in the left center of the highway next to a 2001 BMW driven by Jill Biden, of Greenville.

Whitmarsh said as the rig changed lanes to the left, it plowed into the BMW.

Both vehicles came to a final rest on the left side of the highway.

Jill Biden was taken to Christiana Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries and released.

Vanderbosh was not injured.

Both drivers were wearing seat belts, Whitmarsh said.

Southbound traffic in the area was delayed for about an hour while troopers investigated.

A spokesman for the senator's office declined to comment on "private family matters."

I can't imagine what's going through his mind. I'm SO glad she's okay.

20. Were there any blood samples taken to determine if drugs were

the cause of this trucker plowing into Biden's car?

[robbedvoter]

6. Glad to hear it. But what's with all the car crashes affecting OUR candidates lately?

[SharonRB]

8. Is that a tinfoil hat I see on your head?

[robbedvoter]

11. Not quite there yet - leaning more towards WTF?????

:wtf:

[Muttocracy]

9. too weird this happening to Jill and Cate. thank goodness they're OK n/t

[youthere]

12. Glad she's okay..this is off subject but it's interesting she drives a car that's 7 years old.

[Muttocracy]

13. see my username ;)

[youthere]

14. You know it!

[Muttocracy]

15. 9 year old car myself... though not a BMW ;) n/t

[youthere]

16. Me too...(also not a BMW)...Gee..

considering that Joe is supposed to be "Owned" lock stock and barrel by the CC industry, you'd think he'd have a better ride for his wife....and himself for that matter-given the fact he rides the amtrack every day.*snark*

[Muttocracy]

17. yeah, for some reason he has no private jet... n/t

[Muttocracy]

22. he does have another car if this source is right

"Joe still drives the 1967 Corvette that his father gave them as a wedding gift."

19. Thank goodness n/t

21. Everything is Okay...

I'm not surprised that Jill's car is 7 years old. Sounds like Joe. He was never into politics to make money. He just wanted to serve the people. Rides a train everyday to work, son will be shipped out to Iraq, net worth of around $150K, had to take a second mortgage on his house to send his kids to college...Gee, he sounds like one of us. It would have been nice to have one of us in the Oval Office. I'm glad that Jill is okay.
