WOW! Thanks for that post about the car slamming the guard rail near POTUS motorcade!

When I first started watching the clip, it reminded me of the previous alleged attempt of a car coming from out of the trees to try to hit the motorcade several months ago.

An online video has surfaced purportedly showing a vehicle attempting to “ram” President Trump’s motorcade in Missouri, but officials said the incident was simply a case of malfunctioning brakes.

The two-minute YouTube clip shows the beginning of the presidential motorcade cruising down Kearney Street in Springfield on Wednesday when suddenly a white car appears out of a wooded area and veers off to the side of the road.
“Oh my gosh! Look at that car that just came out of the woods!” the man filming the video can be heard saying.

Another man remarks, “What the hell just happened here?”
The group of men watching the incident can then be seen trying to alert security before a car in the motorcade pulls over and three people inside approach the driver.

“Somebody’s going to jail,” one of the men can be heard saying in the video, which is titled: “Vehicle attempts to ram Presidential Motorcade in Springfield, MO.”

The Springfield Police Department commented on the incident on Twitter, saying: “No intent of harm or disruption to motorcade,” and that the driver simply had a problem with her brakes, according to Ozarks First.

Trump traveled to Missouri on Wednesday to tout his tax reform plan.

Someone pointed out how odd it was that this guy just “happened” to be filming at the exact point where the car came out of the trees.

Excellent point, IMO.

Good post. The SUV in Alabama hit one of those cable protectors in the median. Thankfully it was there and it did its job.

A local went and investigated where that car came from. Made a video of it. Showed the tracks etc. The trail/path does not exactly support a story of driving and brakes not working. Details - I don’t remember them, but seemed reasonable.
