NORTH HAVEN, Connecticut (AP) -- The daughter of former Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean and four other young women were taken to a hospital Sunday after their sport utility vehicle rolled over on Interstate 91, state police said.

Anne Dean, 20, was treated and released from Yale-New Haven Hospital, said a hospital spokeswoman, who would not describe the nature of any of the women's injuries.

State police said Mona El Sayed, 17, of Tinton Falls, New Jersey, was the driver of the Ford SUV, which is owned by Howard Dean. The hospital spokeswoman said El Sayed was still being evaluated Sunday night.

The three other women -- Betty Townsend, 18, Eliza Berman, 19, and Catherine Hillin, 19, were all treated and released.

Anne Dean is a junior at Yale University. Broadcast reports said the women were apparently returning to Yale from Vermont, where the Dean family lives.

State police said the vehicle was traveling southbound on I-91 in North Haven when it drifted onto the grass median, moved back into the left lane and spun out of control before rolling over in the median.

Hey, it's a reasonable family vehicle for a rural state.

Prayers for the Dean family.:angel:

Look at it this way....

Nobody is a bigger environmentalist than Jesus Christ, right?

Let's say there had been motor vehicles back then. Jesus had at least 12 guys travelling with him at all times. Would it make more sense for them to drive in 3 seperate vehicles, or everybody pile into one FORD Excursion?

Get the oil industry out of the fucking White House and then some actual progress can be made on fuel efficiency.

I knew you would try, but isn't the lib manta that SUVs are bad for the enviroment? Or is it more of the "do as I say, not as I do" policy?

You can bet that one will bite him if he even begins to think of running again.

Any engine that burns fossil fuels and spews exhaust into the air is bad for the environment. Where SUV's are truly bad is when they are used as single occupancy vehicles in urban commuting. THAT is what's absolutely immoral and unneccessary.

Don't you drive a big truck, FORD? Same thing.

Probably because you're unemployed... ;)

Way to dodge the issue btw. :)

That's a valid point. Obviously sub compact egg crates aren't an option for me. Supposedly hybrid engines are on the way for larger vehicles, and it will be welcome technology.

Dean doesn't own an SUV, his family does...

No, I'm not unemployed. Unless RoSSi won the governor's race - then I probably will be soon enough :(

No, I don't drive to work because I live about a mile from the office. Which means I can walk when the weather's good and take the bus when it isn't. And in the winter, it would take more time to defrost the windows than it would to actually drive to work, so what's the point?

Actually Dave, I'm just messing with you. I can't stand small cars either. I commute daily in my SUV by myself for about 45 miles each way. I'm probably going back to a car next year since my gas-burning boat isn't having to get hauled around any more and stays at the lake.

Me too, I drive a fuel efficient Acura but also own a 5.9L Durango, one of the least efficient SUV's out there.

OH MY GOD NOOOO !!!

[diamondD]

I know, I know, it's terrible all the gas taxes I have to pay. But I rest easy knowing how much I keep the economy moving along.

Imagine how bad it'll be when I get my 8-cylinder Hemi! :D

If I go to Canada, I drive. And actually, they got this kick ass 94 octane 10% ethanol fuel up there, so it's more effecient driving anyway :)

That's a boatload of shit. I'm IMMORAL because of the vehicle I choose to drive? Ok, that sounds not only good, but highly rational as well.
