Former U.S. Congressman Madison Cawthorn was allegedly involved in a car accident with a Florida state trooper on Monday, April 15, 2024, according to a witness who identified him.

Former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn was alleged by a witness to have crashed his vehicle into a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser on Monday. Alethea Shapiro wrote on X that she was traveling southbound in the left lane on Interstate 75 towards Miami when an aggressive driver in a black sports car began tailgating her. 'I accelerated ahead and moved to the right lane in front of a tractor trailer to let the car by,' Shapiro recounted.

Shapiro identified Cawthorn as the driver and shared video that purports to show him conversing with the state trooper. 'I pulled over to the right shoulder lane and stopped to ask if everyone was ok and to offer assistance. I couldn't believe my eyes. It occurred to me that former CONGRESSMAN CAWTHORNE from NC was the black CAR that stormed by me in an angry road rage tantrum,' Shapiro wrote.
