WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

The Trump administration has deployed an overwhelming show of force in the nation's capital in response to a supposed “crime emergency.”

The moves come as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after President Trump's executive order.

The military vehicle, which is designed to withstand explosive attacks, collided with a "civilian vehicle" just after 6 a.m. on Wednesday in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Fox News correspondent David Spunt has the latest on Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's visit with National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. on 'America Reports.'

Officials said the driver of the SUV had to be extricated by firefighters and was sent to a nearby hospital with a minor head laceration.

Fear in the streets. Buildings burning. Law enforcement struggling to tamp down violence and bring chaos under control.

Vice President JD Vance says National Guard troops are making substantial progress tackling crime in Washington, D.C., and suggests their mission may extend beyond 30 days.
