Gov. Paul LePage disclosed Friday that he was hit by a car six months ago while he was bicycling in Florida. The governor credited his helmet, which he said was “crushed” by the impact, with saving his life.

In a phone interview later Friday, LePage initially said he didn’t want to talk about the incident but then revealed additional details. He said the driver who hit him “was distracted and she did not have insurance.” He said the driver tried to make a turn and cut him off.

The impact of the crash broke LePage’s helmet “right in two,” LePage said, adding that he was taken to the hospital.

The Daytona Beach Police Department report said the driver of a Dodge Durango, Turquoise Green Johnson of Daytona Beach, was at fault, but said she had insurance and was not distracted, but “thought she would have enough time to clear the intersection.” The police report also said LePage “refused rescue.”
