Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was involved in a car accident on June 9, 2024, on Interstate 70 in Maryland, where he was found at fault for rear-ending another vehicle while driving at a high speed. Both Fetterman, his wife Gisele, and the driver of the other car were hospitalized with minor injuries. This incident adds to Fetterman's history of risky driving behaviors, including speeding tickets in 2016 and March 2024, for which he had to take a driver’s improvement course. Concerns about Fetterman's driving habits, including using his phone while driving, have been raised by his staff, who now avoid riding with him. Fetterman acknowledged the accident publicly and pledged to drive more carefully in the future.
