Fetterman, driving a Chevrolet Traverse, passed a witness on I-70 in northwest Maryland “at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit” before rear ending a Chevrolet Impala around 7:45 a.m. near the exit to I-68, the six-page report said. The speed limit was 70 miles per hour.

Fetterman and the other driver were not tested for alcohol or substance use, the report said.
