A National Guard vehicle on Wednesday collided with a civilian car in Washington, D.C., amid President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the district.

The accident, which occurred early Wednesday morning, happened approximately a mile away from the Capitol at the intersection of 8th Street SE and North Carolina Avenue SE, according to the DC Fire and EMS Department.

The civilian driver sustained “minor injuries” in the crash, the department said in a statement. The person was trapped inside the car after colliding with an armoured military vehicle and had to be extricated by emergency responders.

The National Guard is investigating the incident after announcing that the military vehicle involved was a National Guard Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicle that was part of a five-vehicle convoy along with a Metropolitan Police Department cruiser, according to WUSA9.

“The D.C. National Guard and JTF-DC remains committed to the safety of our service members and the public,” the National Guard said in a statement.

First District officers responded to the crash around 6:18 a.m. They found the driver “conscious and breathing,” and DC Fire and EMS took the driver to the hospital for “non-life-threatening injuries,” MPD said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

Joint federal-local patrols have been patrolling the streets since Trump declared a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., earlier this month to check crime. Over 1,500 troops have been deployed in the district as part of the policy, which included an effort by Attorney General Pam Bondi to take over the MPD, provoking a lawsuit from the district.
