Marjorie O. Rendell, the first lady of Pennsylvania was involved in a car accident in Center City Philadelphia. A car ran a red light and struck the Chevrolet Suburban in which the first lady was being driven by a state trooper. The accident was not as serious as it could have been, since the state trooper was able to minimize the impact by swerving the vehicle, after noticing the oncoming car. The Pennsylvania first lady, who is also a federal judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, was not hurt during the car accident. She was wearing a seatbelt. The use of seatbelts is important in preventing or minimizing injury during a car accident. Though the driver and passenger of the car which struck Judge Rendell declined medical treatment at the scene of the accident, they were later treated for minor injuries at a local hospital. Someone involved in an accident should be medically checked even if there is no immediately apparent injury. No citation has been issued to the driver of the car which struck Judge Rendell, but there is an ongoing investigation.
