Fetterman and wife Gisele were briefly hospitalized after a car accident Sunday

“Out of an abundance of caution, they were evaluated at a local hospital,” the spokesperson said. “John was treated for a bruised shoulder and they were discharged that afternoon. They are doing well and happy to be back in Braddock, their town in western Pennsylvania.

Maryland State Police told JNS that troopers from the Hagerstown barracks responded shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday “to the area of ​​westbound Interstate 70 at Interstate 68 for a report of a two-vehicle crash.”

The police preliminary investigation shows that “a Chevrolet Traverse and a Chevrolet Impala were both traveling westbound on I-70 when the Traverse struck the rear of the Impala for unknown reasons.”

“The driver of the Traverse is identified as John Fetterman, 54, of Pennsylvania,” Maryland State Police told JNS. “A passenger in the Traverse and the driver of the Impala were transported by ambulance to West Virginia War Memorial Hospital for treatment of their injuries.”

“No citations have been issued,” it added. “The crash investigation remains active and ongoing.”

“Not the best way to spend our 16th wedding anniversary, but we’re doing well,” Fetterman wrote. He added that he is treating his injuries with frozen peas “from the Teeter” and Tylenol.
