What a sick feeling I get when I see headlines like these. At least history didn't repeat itself in either case.

  • Joe Biden's Wife Involved in Traffic Accident, Not Seriously Hurt
    According to Delaware State Police, Jill Tracy Biden was driving a 2001 BMW southbound in the left lane when a tractor-trailer in the center lane moved into her lane and struck her vehicle. Biden was taken to Christiana Hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries and released.

    ....In December 1972, Biden's first wife, Neilia, and the couple's 18-month-old daughter, Naomi, were killed when the family's station wagon was hit by a tractor-trailer at an intersection. The accident, which left his sons Beau and Hunter seriously injured, happened just five weeks after Biden, then 29, was elected to the Senate.

From Yesterday:

A car driven by the daughter of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was hit by another auto, but she wasn't injured. The other driver, Carol Small of Durham, was cited by police for driving while impaired.

....In 1996, the Edwardses' 16-year-old son, Wade, died in a car accident. Wade Edwards was driving with a friend to the beach in North Carolina when a strong wind blew his Jeep off the road and it flipped over.
