New video shows more of car with faulty brakes as it nearly enters roadway as motorcade rolls by

Chris Robertson was inside his Kearney Street business, taking video of the presidential motorcade when something strange happened.

A white car emerged from the woods, bounced over a ditch and nearly entered the roadway at about the time President Donald Trump had passed by in a motorcade. The president was in town Wednesday to give a speech at a Springfield manufacturing plant.

“I don’t know — it was kind of weird," Roberston said. "At first I thought it was some kind of Secret Service vehicle ... then it just looked like a regular car."

What Robertson didn't know at the time was the car's brakes were malfunctioning. 

For a moment, Robertson said he feared it "was some kind of freak trying to ram (the motorcade)."

Robertson said he saw a woman in the driver's seat.

“I think she was probably as freaked out as anybody,” he said. “Going through those trees and that brush.”

Clayton Hefner saw the incident from a different angle. He was standing in a Kearney Street parking lot with his co-workers when it happened.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hefner said he saw a white car hurtling through the woods, over a ditch before stopping just short of the road. It looked like it was headed straight for the motorcade, Hefner said.

“For a few moments, I was actually scared,” he said.

Hefner said he recalled wondering: What if the car was wired with explosives?

A police spokeswoman said there was an incident Wednesday in which a car ended up near the motorcade after its brakes malfunctioned, but no one was injured and the motorcade wasn't disrupted.
