Whelp, that made my day. GG.

The lady that she rear ended also had her daughter in the back seat. The woman is suffering from cancer and undergoing radiation. She seemed to be in her mid-30's. Carrol Migden has alaways been a hipocrite. She is the epitome of a corrupt politician.

It was also learned according to the San Jose Mercury News that her car had been speeding out of control minutes before the accident. There were not only one, but several calls into 911 indicating a state issued SUV like the one Migden was driving was out of control on 12.

Maybe she's doing coke again?

Yep, she is a former drug addict. She's a total bitch too. I have a few friends that work up at the State Capitol, and say she's a nightmare. She takes dirty money bribes too.

From Wiki:

In May of 2007, after recently voting for a state bill to outlaw the use of cell phones while driving, Migden caused an automobile accident while using her cell phone. While reaching for her cell phone, she took her eyes off the road and crashed her state funded 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV (which was a replacement for her state funded funded 2005 Cadillac STS) into a 2005 Honda sedan, which was stopped at a red light. The driver of the Honda sedan and her 3 year old daughter were injured and taken to the emergency room. Because the anti-cell phone law had not yet gone into effect, police did not cite Migden for talking on her cell phone. Migden was given a breathalyzer test, which showed that she was not drunk. Although reckless driving (regardless of cell phone use) is illegal, Migden was not arrested, and she did not receive a fine, ticket, or citation. [1], [2], [3]

Further investigation showed that during the 30 miles prior to the crash, more than half a dozen drivers had called 911 to report Migden's reckless driving. They claimed that she had run them off the road, sideswiped the concrete center divider, and wasn't looking where she was driving. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12],

After the crash, two drivers criticized Migden for her reckless driving. Migden responded to them by saying, "You can't talk to me like that, I'm a state senator." [13]

Because she was driving a state vehicle, insurance paid for by the state's taxpayers will be responsible for paying the cost of the damages to her vehicle as well as all other vehicles and other property she crashed into, as well as the medical bills of the woman and three year old child that she injured.
