I wonder what he was doing out at that time?
"I was involved in a traffic accident last night at First and C Street SE, near the U.S. Capitol," Kennedy, who represents the New England state of Rhode Island, said in a written statement released by his office Thursday afternoon. "I will fully cooperate with the Capitol Police in whatever investigation they choose to undertake."
He was probably just tired from a late night at the Capital and was driving home and fell asleep at the wheel. It does make you wonder though. Is 1st and C Street SE a prime drug hangout or is it known for prostitution? I read a story in the 90s that some of the most crime infested streets are just a few blocks from the Capital. He does have this little tidbit hanging over him to make you do some thinking:
Kennedy, 38, spent time at a drug rehabilitation clinic before he went to Providence College in Rhode Island. He has openly discussed his personal mental health problems, including having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Early this year he spoke about having been in recovery "for depression, for alcoholism and substance abuse."

Amazing what a politician from a near-royalty family, can (probably) get away with... I'll bet $3.50 Patrick Kennedy gets nothing more than a token traffic fine.
Yup, the Kennedys have been all but coronated in the eyes of many Americans. And you can't punish the prince!
