Mitt Romney lied to the family of the woman he killed (?)
I'm asking if anyone has further information on this as corroboration or refutation. I'm not saying anyone's version is the truth but at the very least if Romney did say the priest was dead (who he said caused the accident that killed Anderson), it was a lie because he is obviously still alive and there is a picture of him recovering in the hospital.

He seems to be alive and recovering in the above picture.
[QUOTE]Immediately after the 1968 accident, Mitt Romney recruited a small group of other missionaries to help him put the blame over on the other driver. He was under severe pressure as his father, George Romney, was running for president... (they've been asked not to speak about it to the media, etc.)
...
Romney claimed that the "priest" was going 120 kilometers per hour on a "mountain road." In fact, the Bishop was either stopped or coming to a stop in a left-hand turn lane.The photo of Vilnet's Mercedes indicates a head-on collision; he was not turning.
As noted above, someone did die in that crash: A woman named Leola Anderson, a passenger in Romney's overcrowded vehicle. She wore no seat belt. Her family believed Romney's lie about the drunk priest who didn't live to take any questions. (but he did although if people were told he was dead, they wouldn't have sought him out to question him).[/QUOTE]
