PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Congressman David Wu crashed his vehicle into a parked car in Portland last year, but the incident never showed up in a police report.

The Oregonian reports no one was injured in the February 2010 accident and Wu passed a field sobriety test. His spokesman, Erik Dorey, says Wu fell asleep while driving.

The incident, first reported in the Willamette Week, is the latest in a string of revelations about the congressman. He has said he was under extreme professional and personal stress before last fall’s election.
