Maryland police claim Fetterman was 'at fault' in two-vehicle crash

"This was an unfortunate accident and I'm relieved and grateful that there were no serious injuries. I need to do better and do it slower – and I will," Fetterman said in a statement.

Maryland state police claimed in a report on Wednesday that Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was responsible for the two-vehicle crash on Sunday, which wounded Fetterman and his wife Gisele, and the driver of the other vehicle.

The senator, a Democrat, was allegedly speeding while driving a Chevrolet Traverse west on Interstate 70, when he hit the rear of a Chevrolet Impala. All three people in the crash were taken to the War Memorial Hospital in West Virginia for their injuries, though Fetterman was only treated for a bruised shoulder.

A witness of the crash claimed she saw the senator speed past her on Interstate 70, just before the exit for Interstate 68, and that he was going "well over the posted speed limit," according to CBS News. He crashed into the rear of the Impala just moments later. The speed limit on I-70 is 70 mph. /moar
