A truck carrying one of the Army M1 Abrams tanks that participated in President Donald Trump's parade in honor of the service's 250th birthday struck and killed a woman in Washington.

The accident occurred on the evening of June 16 – two days after the parade – on New York Avenue while a contract truck driver was hauling the tank from the West Potomac Park staging area to a railyard in Jessup, Maryland, according to an internal Army document obtained by USA TODAY. The truck was part of a larger convoy of vehicles.

So sorry for the woman and her loved ones

It only took one post to blame it on Trump.  Now let's look at some DU irony!

Ummmmmm ... was the deceased pedestrian so clue-free as to not see a huge truck carrying a 70+ ton tank? Or tike Rachel Corie, , believe it could stop as quickly as a Toyota Yaris? Or maybe intentionally self-Rachel-Corie-ing?

UpInArms is just nuclear-grade moronic.

Secretary Noem Remembers Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens Driving Under the Influence
Release Date: May 6, 2025
WASHINGTON – The Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office today released a video featuring the parents of Matthew Denice. Matthew was killed by an illegal alien who was driving drunk in 2011. The illegal alien ran a stop sign and knocked Matthew off his motorcycle and then dragged him a quarter mile to his death. He was only 23 years old.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and President Trump stand with the victims of illegal alien crimes and their families.

“Far too many American lives have been lost because of illegal aliens driving drunk, including Mathew Denice, Sarah Root, and so many others,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “These Americans killed by drunk-driving illegal aliens should still be with us today, and we feel their absence in our schools and offices, at our dinner tables, and throughout our communities. President Trump and Secretary Noem have reopened the VOICE Office to serve all victims of illegal alien crime and their families.”

The following names are just a handful of Americans whose lives were taken too soon at the hands of illegal aliens driving under the influence.

7-year-old Ivory Smith was killed in a crash caused by Joel Enrique Gonzalez Chacin of Venezuela in Texas in 2024.
8-year-old Maverick Martzen was killed in a crash caused by Karmit Singh of India in California in 2019.
10-year-old Alex “AJ” Wise Jr. was killed in a crash caused by Rogelio Ortiz-Olivas of Mexico in Texas in 2024.
18-year-olds Taliyah Crochet and Rylan Oncale were both killed in a crash caused by Axel Flores-Cordova of Honduras in Louisiana in 2024.
19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin were both killed in a crash caused by Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano of Mexico in California in 2021.
20-year-old Katie Abraham was killed in a hit-and-run crash caused by Julio Cucul Bol of Guatemala in Illinois in 2025.
21-year-old Sarah Root was killed in a crash caused by Eswin Mejia of Honduras in Nebraska in 2016.
29-year-old Grayson Davis was killed in a crash caused by illegal alien Jorge Peralta in Texas in 2024.
44-year-old Police Officer David Lee was killed by Ramon A. Chavez-Rodriguez of Honduras in Missouri in 2024.
47-year-old Melissa Powell and her 16-year-old son, Riordan, were killed in a crash caused by Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas of Honduras in Colorado in 2024.
70-year-old Robert Boles was killed in a crash caused by illegal alien Jorge Urbina Lopez in Texas in 2025.
On April 10, Secretary Noem relaunched the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office. The VOICE office was shuttered by the previous administration, which left victims of alien crime without access to many key support services and resources. The office was first launched in 2017 by the Trump administration as a dedicated resource for those who have been victimized by crime that has a nexus to immigration.
