John Fetterman caused a car accident.
Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, found himself at fault in a recent car accident that resulted in injuries to himself, his wife Gisele, and another driver, as per authorities in a police report.
The accident took place early on a Sunday morning in Maryland along westbound Interstate 70 at Interstate 68, positioned between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The preliminary investigation revealed that a Chevrolet Traverse, driven by Fetterman, was traveling at an excessive speed, well above the posted limit. The vehicle ended up rear-ending a Chevrolet Impala at around 7:45 a.m., as detailed in a six-page Maryland State Police report obtained by USA Today.
Following the collision, both cars involved were towed from the scene of the accident in Hancock, Maryland. Fetterman, aged 54, suffered a bruised shoulder in the crash, according to his spokesperson.
Despite the unfortunate incident, Fetterman shared a video message on social media along with his wife Gisele to express their gratitude for the outpouring of well-wishes they received. They mentioned that they were commemorating their 16th wedding anniversary when the accident took place.
In a recent interview with NBC News, Senator Fetterman made a declaration distancing himself from the progressive label, stating firmly, “I’m not a progressive.”
While the details of the accident remain a point of concern, Fetterman’s public presence and actions have drawn both support and criticism. His stance on various issues, including his support for Israel, has garnered attention within his constituency.
Former aides of Fetterman have reportedly expressed frustration in private over the senator’s affinity for the limelight and his unwavering support for Israel. These sentiments highlight the complexities and challenges that come with navigating public office and maintaining public approval.
Despite the challenges faced, Fetterman seems grateful for the support and concern shown by well-wishers following the accident. The road to recovery and the impact of the incident on his political engagements remain to be seen in the days to come.
