Black box gets Mass. Lt. Gov. Murray a nice set of violations "Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray crashed the 2007 Crown Vic on the morning of Nov. 2, after the car went off an interstate and rolled twice before hitting a rock ledge. Murray survived with minor injuries, and when Massachusetts State Police responded, Murray asked for and passed a sobriety test. State police later chalked the crash up to icy roads. But under pressure from political opponents and lingering questions about why Murray was 30 miles from home — he said he had woken up early to survey snowstorm damage — Murray asked officials to release the data in the Crown Vic's "black box." ERROR ON HIS PART!

Over 100mph on ICE! Wow! The Toyota Celica in in marvelous shape considering,... no, wait, that's a Crown Vic.

My God. He flipped the car twice at 100 MPH and was not wearing a belt - and LIVED?!?!?! Since that was the government's vehicle and not his, why isn't he being charged with the repair bill? Hmmm... on the road at 5 AM with a preposterous reason why. I smell an affair.

Kind of looks like a suicide attempt to me .... "...But in the final few seconds before the crash, Murray pressed the accelerator, and the car's speed rose to 99 mph; it was traveling 106 mph by the time it hit the rock ledge. The biggest surprise: Murrary was not wearing a seat belt.

The biggest surprise: Murrary was not wearing a seat belt. Interesting perspective Dana. What ever was going on I would not be surprised to learn there are some personal/family problems in the mix. I think the lesson here and the reason I posted this is that if you are involved in an accident, tell the truth! The car is going to anyway and you do not want to be caught not agreeing with the black box. NOTE: It also records the positions of both accelerator and brake pedals. As well as speed and seat belt information.
