Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal escaped unharmed from a minor traffic accident Sunday.
He
was on the way home from his son's soccer game when a truck made an
illegal U-turn in front of his vehicle, said Sean Lansing, a spokesman
with the governor's office.
"The governor did not sustain any injuries, and he is thankful
for the work of the Louisiana State Police who keep him and his family
safe every day," Lansing said.
According to the Louisiana
State Police, the crash occurred at about 5 p.m. CDT on Louisiana
Highway 30, south of downtown Baton Rouge.
Two police vehicles were northbound on the state highway in the
inside lane when the truck made the illegal turn from the outside lane.
The
truck side swiped the first vehicle, which was carrying the governor.
The second vehicle "took evasive action" and hit a utility pole, said a
statement from state police.
A trooper in that second vehicle sustained minor injuries.
The driver of the truck was cited for making an improper turn.
We're surprised that Bobby J(S)windal was not taking the monorail, teleportation
systems, CATS bus service, or any other high tech business he promised
to all of you local yokels to bring you into the 21st Century.
It's been long enough, Bobby - where's Louisiana's monorail that you promised us!?
