A National Guard vehicle collided with a civilian car less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol as troops took positions around the city. One person was trapped and extricated by emergency responders and was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear. Video showed a tan-colored armored vehicle and a silver SUV with a crushed side; the military vehicle appeared roughly twice the height of the civilian car. An estimated 1,900 troops were being deployed in D.C., with more than half from Republican-led states. Authorities reported over 550 arrests and offered $500 rewards.
WASHINGTON -- A National Guard vehicle collided with a civilian car less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol on Thursday morning as troops continued to take up positions around the city during President Donald Trump's crackdown. One person was trapped inside the car after the accident and had to be extricated by emergency responders, according to D.C. fire department spokesman Vito Maggiolo. The person was transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
An estimated 1,900 troops are being deployed in D.C. More than half are coming from Republican-led states that are responding to requests from Trump administration officials. Attorney General Pam Bondi said more than 550 people have been arrested so far, and the U.S. Marshals are offering $500 rewards for information leading to additional arrests. "Together, we will make DC safe again!" Bondi wrote on social media.
