Fetterman driving at ‘high rate of speed’ ahead of crash: Police
The Hill ^ | 06/12/24 6:37 PM ET | BY LAUREN SFORZA

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was traveling at a “high rate of speed” ahead of the car accident he was involved in that took place in Maryland over the weekend, according to a Maryland State Police report.

The report, obtained by The Hill, said that a witness observed that Fetterman’s vehicle was “traveling at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit,” when the car passed her on Sunday morning. Fetterman, who was driving a Chevrolet Traverse, rear-ended a Chevrolet Impala “shortly” after passing the witness, according to the report.

The report noted the highway’s speed limit was 70 mph and that both vehicles involved were towed away from the scene. Fetterman, his wife and the driver of the other vehicle were all transported to a hospital following the crash, the police report said.

It also lists that Fetterman was “at fault” for the incident.

As I posted in the first thread about this crash: This took place in the “pinch point” between West Virginia and Pennsylvania where Maryland is all of two miles wide north-south.

I-70 make essentially an “X” double interchange (double slip switch in railway lingo) with US 522 and I-68 with exits and entrances on both left and right.

Engineering deserves a portion of the blame.

We have dash cam footage here. Notice the same hair stylist works on Vin Diesel as Fetterman.

2.0 has a lead-foot compared to the original.

Of course he was at fault, he rear-ended a car. Speed limit was 70 and maybe the other car was doing 55 or something. Not making excuses for him but the only clear fact is that he ran into the rear of a car going slower than him.

At least he is not lying about it, claiming exception, or whatever. And, as someone writes, No Interns!

““traveling at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit [70 mph],””

Of course that probably describes many drivers on that highway except perhaps that car he rear-ended.

Fetterman has blasphemed by not regurgitating the Biden Crime family excrement. The “media” (composed of marshmallow majors who took journalism as a way of avoiding the hard “woke” courses) must now start pecking him to death.

Cars now have recorders that will tell the State Police the exact MPH of Fetterman’s car at the instant of crash.

If it happens to you, turn the ignition off and on 10 times and it will clear the data in the car’s computer.

What’s the hack for turning the damned TV off on the gas pumps? I can never remember that one.

I’m glad Fetterman seems to have pulled out of his funk, and it’s nice he’s not toeing the strict commie line. But there’s no way in hell he should be driving.

Speed is a rate. Miles per hour

Speed, erroneously referred to in the media as “rate of speed”. Rate of speed is acceleration, ie the rate at which speed is increasing or decreasing.

...and it will clear the data in the car’s computer.

They disabled that button because they thought people would watch if it couldn’t be turned off…
