Police quickly determined there was no intent to harm the president.

“It was a horribly timed mistake,” said Lisa Cox, with the Springfield Police Department. “It’s like the opposite of winning the lottery.”

Local police and Secret Service officers questioned the woman and a passenger, before releasing them both unharmed, Cox said.

In a statement, the Secret Service said an investigation revealed the vehicle “experienced a total failure of its braking system.”

BS.

There’s always the park brake and the ability to turn the steering wheel to go uphill to then put the trans back in PArk.

Did anyone film them towing this vehicle away?
This story stinks on ice for anyone who watched the video
Google map showing how that car even got into the woods would be illustrative

Sure, no intent. Except there was no road there and it was nowhere near any designated store exit. Nope sorry, ain’t buying this load. We went over all this the other day with satellite views of the area.
