JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Hillary Clinton was seemingly unharmed when the Secret Service vehicle she was riding in was involved in a crash.

The former secretary of state and first lady was headed to a fundraiser for Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) in Jersey City on Tuesday night. The vehicle pulled into a parking garage, made a left turn and hit a concrete column.

Clinton emerged from the van and walked to the fundraiser, where she was the featured guest.

The Secret Service says no injuries were reported and the Jersey City Police Department is investigating.

The police department expects to release more details Wednesday. -End.

As for the accident the only way I can see it ending with the driver not being fired and or reprimanded is if they hit the pillar because they had to swerve out of the way from another vehicle.

Is this the same "no stamina Hillary" that lardass talked about? I don't think so.

He'd have made someone get him a golf cart if it happened to him.

Indeed, base on the space-time continuum, there may even be dinosaurs running through your living room at this very moment... so watch out! haha! Not that I believe in such nonsense... but, there are those who do, nutty quantum physicists who come up with crazy theories to justify their existence (and their budgets).

3 quotes (estimates) to have to come now on that GOV (assuming it was a GOV, might have been a rental though).

has no problem stopping a CBS journalist from asking Kushner a question, but driving the First Lady and probable true president, not so much.

Shit, I remember when WLS was the top music radio in the region. Now, it is all hate, all the time.

The listeners are basically the same slobs that you see at Trump rallies.
The outer fringe of Chicagoland is similar in many ways to any red state.

GoodLord, when I was a teen in Chicago, WLS and WCFL were THE place to be.
Sad to hear they've gone over to the dark side.

I figure the RW talking point would be that the accident was staged to make her look like a victim. We'll probably see that any minute now too.
