A car crashed into President Joe Biden’s motorcade on Sunday night as he was preparing to re-enter one of the vehicles.
The incident occurred after Biden and First Lady Jill Biden had finished dining at their campaign office headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
The car struck a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was stationed to block an intersection near the headquarters. Subsequently, the car attempted to drive into the closed-off intersection. Federal law enforcement officials swiftly surrounded the vehicle and instructed the driver to raise their hands. Video footage of the incident captured Biden outside conversing with a heckler when the crash occurred. The impact was significant enough to draw the attention of Secret Service agents who promptly encircled Biden and escorted him into the vehicle.
