(CNN) - Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, was hospitalized in Nevada Friday following an accident in his motorcade, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Sources close to the top Democrat said Reid, 72, appeared to fine after the accident, which occurred as his caravan of four vehicles was traveling northbound on Interstate 15.
The sources said Reid never lost consciousness, and was being evaluated at the hospital out of caution.

Don't want to start conspiracy theory, but to be rear ended when you are in a police escort sounds suspicious...
Hmm, maybe I just started a conspiracy theory.

(26,355 posts)4. News I'm hearing says Reid's fine.
He got checked out at the hospital just in case, but it doesn't look like he was seriously injured.

Or coming from her event. They damned near ran my wife over just a couple of hours ago when Michelle was coming to speak at a place literally across from the place where my wife had just early voted.

Wasn't his wife, or someone close to him also injured in an auto accident a year or so ago?
