Bush, jogging, dives to avoid truck trailer Bush may be used to mudslinging, but this is different. The truck involved was a garbage truck which lost a dumpster tossing garbage at the Gov. His guard was buried by the garbage. It's a lot like running for President. AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. George W. Bush suffered minor bruises to his leg and hip Monday when he dove to avoid a truck trailer while he was jogging. ''Governor Bush was treated at the scene and returned home and is traveling to New Hampshire this afternoon,'' said Linda Edwards, Bush's press secretary. A Texas Department of Public Safety agent with Bush, Roscoe Hughey, was hospitalized with injuries, Edwards said. Hughey had been trailing Bush on bicycle. The accident apparently occurred about 12:30 p.m. CST, Edwards said, although she said details were sketchy. Bush campaign spokesman Mindy Tucker said there was no reason to suspect that the driver intended to hit the governor. She said the Texas state police was investigating. TP
