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.

The woman, whose name was not included in the document, was alone at the time of her death.

Officers with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department responding to a call in the city's Northeast area just after 9:30 p.m. found "an adult female, unconscious and not breathing, suffering from life-threatening injuries," according to police spokesman Freddie Talbert.

In the early hours of June 14, two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes in what Gov. Tim Walz has called a “politically motivated assassination.”

Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were both targeted in the overnight attacks, which were carried out by a suspect pretending to be a law enforcement officer, Minnesota authorities said in a press conference.

Melissa and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home, while John and his wife Yvette sustained gunshot wounds in their Champlin residence, authorities said. In the same press conference, Walz said he is “cautiously optimistic” that the couple will survive the attack.

The suspect — who planned to harm many more individuals, according to a manifesto authorities said they recovered from his vehicle — remained at large at 1 p.m. local time.
