A New Jersey citizen has withdrawn a complaint against the state's governor John Corzine, after the governor apologized for failing to wear a seatbelt in a high-speed car crash.
Corzine issued the public apology on Monday, as he was released from the hospital with serious injuries sustained in the April 12 crash.
Corzine was a passenger in a state police vehicle that was going 146 kilometers an hour, far above the legal speed limit, when it was hit by another car. The governor sustained a broken leg, sternum, collarbone, and several broken ribs. He faces months of rehabilitation.
