In the crash report , Fetterman was alleged to be "traveling at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit(,)" before passing the witness and striking the Impala.

No citations were issued at the scene of the crash, according to MSP.

“This was an unfortunate accident on Sunday, and I’m relieved and grateful that there were no serious injuries,” the Senator told the Washington Post at the time of the crash.

“I’ve been driving for almost 40 years, and I’ve gotten a small handful of tickets. When I sped, I was held accountable. I need to do better and do it slower — and I will.”
