It must be nice to be a politician
Hawkmoon:
John Fetterman was injured in an automobile accident, which he apparently caused.

The article reproduces the cover page of the police report. No photos taken. Contributing circumstances: Excessive speed NOT mentioned.
I'm surprised he's driving at all. He probably shouldn't be.
230RN:
Seems to me two admitted high speeding tickets and an at-fault accident with injuries all around deserves at least 364 24-hour days in the pokey.
With three hospital injuries and both cars disabled, should anyone even bother to specify the speed involved? A witness estimated the speed they were going, but I don't think that's quotable as it stands, but maybe.
No citation was issued pending an investigation, according to the link. Maybe the lady in front was backing up? Considering the prominence of the driver (if the Officer knew this), I might decide to not issue a citation on my own, but allow the Department itself to investigate and decide.

If he was driving in western Pennsylvania, with his wife in the car, he wasn't in session or on his way to or from a session.

Per the link there's at least one other reason why he's not exempt.
