Senator Fetterman Blamed for Weekend Collision on Maryland Interstate-70

Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, was involved in a car accident in Maryland over the weekend. According to the official police report, he was driving well above the speed limit when he rear-ended a 62-year-old driver.

USA Today obtained the report, which stated that Fetterman was driving a Chevrolet Traverse at a high rate of speed on I-70 in northwest Maryland before the collision with a Chevrolet Impala. Neither driver was tested for alcohol or drugs, and no citations were issued. An investigation is ongoing, as reported by Maryland State Police.

Both vehicles were towed, and Fetterman, his wife, and the other driver were taken to a hospital in West Virginia for treatment. Fetterman later confirmed the accident on social media, where he thanked well-wishers for their support.

Fetterman, who served as lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 2019-2023 and mayor of Braddock from 2006-2019, has faced criticism for his stance on issues like Israel and border security. In a recent incident, he stood in solidarity with Jewish students at Yeshiva University following an attack in October.
