Truckers Protesting COVID Mandates Encircle Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON — Draped in American flags and fueled by anger over government pandemic policies, hundreds of vehicles led by a group of truckers encircled the nation’s capital Sunday, hampering traffic outside the city for hours by driving at slower speeds.
The main caravan of truckers, the People’s Convoy, first departed from Adelanto, California, more than a week ago with plans to end their demonstration in the Washington area. For the past two days, the truckers have been rallying at a racetrack in nearby Hagerstown, Maryland, about 70 miles northwest of the capital, converging with other drivers and their supporters.
As the convoy made its way from the Hagerstown Speedway to the highway Sunday, a winding road that was approximately 5 miles was lined with people waving flags.
