Surgery on Gov. Jon Corzine’s injured leg was successful, and state police said the driver blamed for the wreck that critically injured the governor told them he didn’t stop because he hadn’t realized he was involved.
The 20-year-old driver, whom police found at an Atlantic City casino where he works, won’t be charged with leaving the scene of Thursday’s accident, State Police Capt. Albert Della Fave said.
Corzine’s recovery was progressing better than doctors expected, said Dr. Steven E. Ross, head of trauma at Cooper University Hospital.
The Democratic governor is heavily sedated. He is expected to remain on a ventilator until at least Monday, doctors said.
