Sen. John Fetterman was “at fault” and driving “well over” the speed limit when he rear-ended a 62-year-old driver in Maryland over the weekend, according to a police report.
The Pennsylvania Democrat was traveling in his Chevrolet Traverse “at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit” of 70 mph, a witness told authorities, shortly before he ran into a Chevrolet Impala on I-70, Maryland State Police said.
The six-page police report, obtained by USA Today, found Fetterman “at fault” for the crash.
Fetterman, 54, was not tested for drugs or alcohol, and neither was the woman behind the wheel of the Impala.
It is “unknown” if the senator was distracted at the time of the crash, according to the report, but police noted the driver he collided with was “not distracted.”
Fetterman’s office and Maryland State Police did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
The first-term senator was with his wife Gisele at the time of the Sunday morning accident.
Both were briefly hospitalized and “John was treated for a bruised shoulder,” a spokesperson for the senator told The Post on Monday.
The woman driving the other car was also hospitalized, suffering from a “suspected minor injury,” according to police.
“No citations were issued,” Maryland State Police said in a statement earlier this week. “The crash investigation remains active and ongoing.”
Fetterman has suffered from several health issues in recent years, including a stroke in May of 2022 while he campaigned for the Senate.
Doctors installed a pacemaker and a defibrillator in his chest after the health scare.
Last year, Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed Hospital just weeks after being sworn into the Senate for treatment of clinical depression.
He was hospitalized for over a month.
