That should have been " a few hundred yards", not feet.

Yep, that’s it. If you look at that map, you’ll see something called “Legend Nightclub”. It’s a live-music nightclub. At 2:30 in the morning, I’m guessing it’s a drunk that wondered away from that nightclub.

Were they speeding? The Secret Service usually travels WAY above the posted speed limits... And the armored "limo's" they drive are extremely heavy and slower to respond to the brakes than a normal car... most of the time when they're involved in a fatal accident it's because they ran right over the motorcycle escorts ...

"Bet it never makes the main stream fringe media." Certainly not. Just imagine if this had been a vehicle returning from a VP Cheney event....

I think we’ve all been ‘wondering aimlessly’ for about a year now, LOL!

When all else fails, drive into the river,
leave the scene and act confused.

At 0230? A large intersection in the dark and the type of people who hang out or live in the area are prone to ignore traffic signals.
There is no or little lighting on that part of the Parkway.

Seems it would have been more fitting if it were an Amtrack train.

They travel very fast and very close together. The routes are usually shut down ahead of them too so this guy probably had some clue something was coming along. It’s sort of like getting run over by a parade.
To: Cletus.D.Yokel
At 0230? He was apparently rushing to fix another gaffe.

It doesn’t sound like the vehicles had any VIPs in them. They were taking the vehicles back to a garage in DC, so it doesn’t sound like the road would have been shut down.
To: MediaMole
That’s right - they were returning to a garage.
I posted this story, in part, to show the discrepancy in how the media covers stories from different administrations. There is a distinct double standard.

Well, it’s unfortunate the man was killed, but I guarantee he was stoned or drunk. And I’d bet he ran out in the way of the vehicle(s) all of which are driven (and manned) by Secret Service, not the POTUS or VPOTUS.
There is NO missing a presidential or vice presidential motorcade. It’s an entire fleet of limos, vans, etc. All the cross streets are blocked off along the entire route. It’s a royal pain, actually, if you get caught in one.
