Ouch...

If you're going to get into an accident, this is a bad way to do it.

A car carrying Gov. M. Jodi Rell was broadsided by another vehicle Tuesday morning, but neither the governor nor anyone else was hurt, officials said.

A car driven by 17-year-old Juliet Ben-Ami struck the driver's side door of the governor's car just after 7 a.m., according to Brookfield police.

"It seems like everything happened so fast," Rell told WTNH-TV. "She got out of the car. She said, 'I always wanted to meet the governor, but not like this.' So I said, 'It's OK,' and I hugged her."

And when she thought things couldn't be worse, it just had to be a state trooper driving the vehicle with the governor.

Big ouch.
