New Jersey Senator Barbara Buono, the presumptive Democratic opponent of Governor Chris Christie, was cited for not wearing a seatbelt during a car accident last night that left her with a cut on her forehead.

Buono, 59, was in the back seat and was being driven home by a staff assistant when the 2012 Jeep Wrangler she was riding in collided with an oncoming vehicle after a campaign event in Franklin Township. She was taken as a precaution to a hospital, where she was treated and released. Neither driver was injured, according to David Turner, her campaign spokesman.
