In less than a year, First Lady Sarah Stitt has crashed two state vehicles.

On Dec. 17, Sarah Stitt was driving a 2019 black Chevy Suburban when she failed to stop for a traffic signal at N.E. 36th Street and Lincoln Boulevard, according to a collision report.

She collided with 2014 gray Ford with one occupant, according to the collision report.

Stitt was uninjured, but the individual in the second vehicle was taken to the hospital, according to the report. At the time, a DPS spokeswoman said the injuries to the transported individual were minor.

1. Why is she using state vehicle whne she is not employed by the state,

nor is she elected. I'm imaging the insurance company will go after the state.

7. Per the article

"According to state law, the public safety commissioner shall provide personal security and protection, transportation and communications capabilities for the governor, the governor’s immediate family, and the lieutenant governor."

[Historic NY]

21. Yes, but that doesn't include the vehicle

it negates the need for security and protection...do the children get vehicles too?

[TeamPooka]

22. Then why is she driving?

[cstanleytech]

25. If you mean the law requiring it to be provided probably because

it only says that it has to be provided not that the provided transportation has to and or can only be driven by a state employee.

2. Are you sure that wasn't the Daytona 500 you were watching? And as the other poster said,

what are her official duties?

[DURHAM D]

3. Surprised she is driving herself.

Even state first ladies are not usually allowed to drive themselves.

[RockRaven]

4. Did these fucking cops even bother with sobriety checks after these accidents?

"It's up to the discretion of the trooper whether to issue a citation" my ass!!!

Did they even TRY to do their job properly once they found out it was the governor's wife? Do they even know what properly doing their job looks like?

11. They did their job properly

They recognized the celebrity of the drunk in the car and let her go. It’s the Red State way, praise god!

Now if she’d been a regular citizen, she’d have gone to the hoosegow straightaway. If she’d been a regular black citizen, the officers may have unwittingly closed their body cams while the woman savagely beat herself to death on the roadside.

But, shucks, this little lady was special and no police officer worth his Oklahoma salt would want to harm her reputation in any way. It’s proper policing, doncha know?

5. Wow, she's aiming for the Lauren Boebart-edition rap sheet

Set those sights high, Sarah Stitt...

[Behind the Aegis]

6. Maybe she let Jesus take the wheel.

[NurseJackie]

8. Driving with Tito or Jose (or Jack, or Jim, or Johnnie)?

[not fooled]

15. Well, if married to a Republican...

that might be an appealing coping mechanism for the spouse. Ya know, to deal with all the lying, cheating, and stealing...

[NurseJackie]

17. Divorce would be MY only coping mechanism for being saddled with a Republican spouse.

[not fooled]

18. Although you would have had the good sense

to never date or marry one. Mrs. Stitt already bought in. Perhaps these episodes are a cry for help. Buyer's remorse?

9. Goddamn Antifa

always lurking around, just waiting to crash into good God-fearing conservatives who, how did the report put it: "...failed to stop for a traffic signal".

[avebury]

10. She ahs a pretty entitled personality.

Their oldest son also "borrowed" a state trailer and a bunch of tools without permission.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. Privilege is as Privilege does?

[Yeehah]

13. And in South Dakota, the attorney general killed a man with his car, fled the scene

and will get off scot-free.

[TexasBushwhacker]

27. Yup. Claimed he thought he hit a dear.

[flying_wahini]

14. My money is on she was Drunk.

Lots of upstanding drunks around, driving on the roads.

[FakeNoose]

19. Yep - DUI or DWT (driving while texting)

Next time, wreck your own car, toots.
(directed at Mrs. Governor)

16. She needs some driving lessons.

[Bayard]

20. Sounds like my ex.....

People of OK paying that auto insurance. Take her license.

[dawg day]

23. Brings back memories of a (state) first lady I recall--

The state police had to insist that they drive her everywhere because of her penchant for drunk-driving.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. Naturally they would

give the family members cars that they didn't have to pay for, maintain, or pay the insurance on.

It reminds me of my High School in Denver. The students of the owners of Auto Dealerships always drove brand new vehicles with "Dealer" Plates.......

As I recall, one of the kids always drove a brand new Corvette Sting-ray. He would pile one up and then just get another one....LOL

[TomSlick]

26. The personal injury lawyer in me wonders.

At what point does it become negligent entrustment to allow her to drive a vehicle? Having shown herself to be an incompetent driver, it is actionable negligence to give her the keys.

If she hurts someone - as she almost certainly will - the Governor or whoever has control of the keys will find themselves being sued personally.
