    So she was unconscious behind the wheel of a fast-moving car? Does that mean she was in a wreck?

    If I had to venture a guess -- heart attack or stroke while driving a car on cruise control. Saw a wreck like that on I-95 a few months back: guy keeled over in his car, the wife tried to take control of the wheel but ended up clipping the jersey wall and flipping. She was okay, he was dead before the car made contact.

    The other alternative might be a hypoglycemic event 9low blood sugar) in a diabetic. We see that not uncommonly.

    Word is that Congresswoman Tubbs-Jones had a stroke while driving and is not expected to survive.

    This is a start. If we can get this action for the 300-plus other congress-people and 100 senators, (I guess a few less, considering the ones under indictment) we can start to make some positive changes in this country.

    Maybe Tubbs-Jones was a teacher back in the day and had sex with a student?
    That might explain Poin's outburst ...

    Considering all the douchebag comments made on this board, you may have topped them all.

    Not to thread-jack, but I'm amazed this doesn't happen more, just mathematically. I guess it could happen and people don't write about it unless it's, say, a Congressman. I also guess that when people get really bad off, they tend not to drive, but it seems like it should happen more than it does.
