Former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn has been alleged by a witness to have crashed his vehicle into a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser on Monday. The incident occurred on Interstate 75 in Collier County, Florida.
The witness, Alethea Shapiro, reported that she was traveling southbound on the highway when an aggressive driver in a black sports car began tailgating her. Shapiro recounted that she had to swerve to avoid a collision and came to a halt when the car door opened, and a man in a wheelchair rolled out. She identified the driver as Cawthorn and shared video footage of the aftermath.
