WAshington – Senator from Pennsylvania. John Fetterman was treated at a hospital for an injured shoulder after a car accident Sunday morning, according to a statement from his Senate office. He was released from the hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Fetterman, a Democrat, and his wife Gisele “were involved in a car accident with another driver,” the statement said, and both were evaluated at a local hospital and released within hours. The senator has returned to his home in Braddock, Pennsylvania, and is expected to return to the Senate for votes this week.
A spokeswoman for Fetterman, Carrie Adams, said the senator was driving the car and the accident occurred on Interstate 70 in Maryland. The condition of the other driver is unclear.
Fetterman, 54, had a stroke in May 2022, while campaigning for his seat. As a result, he still has difficulty speaking fluently and quickly processing spoken conversations, and often uses devices in congressional hearings and routine conversations to transcribe spoken words in real time.
