A vehicle transporting North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) and state Rep. David Willis (R-Union) was repeatedly hit from behind Thursday evening, according to Moore’s office.

“Security was driving the Speaker and Rep. Willis back to Raleigh after a visit for a series of events today,” Demi Dowdy, a spokeswoman for the Speaker’s office, said in a statement. “On the drive back, the vehicle was rammed from behind several times.”
