A potential national tragedy was averted Sunday night as an unknown sedan crashed into an SUV that was guarding President Joe Biden's motorcade while it was parked outside his presidential campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
The president was unharmed.
Biden was leaving the building that houses his campaign headquarters, where he and first lady Dr. Jill Biden reportedly had dinner with staffers, and had stopped to answer questions from reporters when a loud noise startled those gathered outside.
The sedan crashed into an SUV that was being used to block off the intersections near the building as the motorcade prepared for the president's departure. After the crash, the driver continued to try and push his vehicle past the blockade into the closed-off intersection but was quickly surrounded the car with weapons drawn, instructing the driver to put his hands up.
Biden paused and looked over toward the sound, surprised, before he was ushered into the vehicle, where his wife was already seated, before being driven swiftly back to their home. His schedule was otherwise unaffected by the incident.
It was raining in Delaware at the time of the crash.
The Secret Service did not immediately comment on the incident.
