Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) was involved in a car accident over the weekend, rear-ending another driver, and went to the hospital “out of an abundance of caution,” a spokesperson confirmed to The Post.
The Senator was with his wife Gisele at the time of the accident on Sunday.
“On Sunday morning, John and Gisele were involved in a car accident with another driver. Out of an abundance of caution, they were evaluated at a local hospital. John was treated for a bruised shoulder and they were discharged that afternoon. They are doing well and happy to be back in Braddock,” the Fetterman spokesperson said in a statement.
Maryland State Police provided further details on the accident, stating that the crash “happened shortly before 8 a.m.” and that the senator was behind the wheel of the car that rear-ended another car.
“According to a preliminary investigation, a Chevrolet Traverse and a Chevrolet Impala were both traveling west on I-70 when for unknown reasons, the Traverse struck the rear of the Impala. The driver of the Traverse is identified as John Fetterman, 54, of Pennsylvania,” Maryland State Police said in a statement to The Post.
The passenger of the other car, along with the Fettermans, was also transported to War Memorial Hospital in West Virginia, which is just over the Maryland border, via ambulance, according to the police office.
“No citations were issued. The crash investigation remains active and ongoing,” the police office added.
