Uniformed Secret Service officers tried to pull over the driver of a Honda Accord at the intersection of 17th Street NW and Constitution Avenue because the car had an expired tag, the Secret Service said. The driver indicated that they would pull over, but then fled south on 17th Street NW, crossing through a red traffic light and hitting three people in the crosswalk at the intersection, according to U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division spokesperson Lt. Paul Mayhair.
“All of a sudden, it just hit the guy. The guy flew up – I saw him when he was flying up. He came down on the hood,” he said. “All of a sudden, he backed up a little bit and ran over him again and kept on continuing down until the light.”
