The office of President is one that is very dangerous. And with as many enemies as Joe Biden has, it certainly has been scary.
And now, a chilling accident left Biden’s motorcade in ruin.
President Joe Biden’s Sunday evening departure from his Delaware campaign headquarters took an unexpected turn when a car careened into a Secret Service vehicle guarding his motorcade.
No injuries were reported, but the incident momentarily heightened security concerns and cast a shadow over the otherwise routine event.
Details remain fluid, but accounts paint a picture of a potentially harrowing encounter.
As President Biden emerged from his campaign office and began walking towards his waiting armored SUV, a sedan reportedly lost control, colliding with a parked Secret Service vehicle stationed to block off intersections for the presidential departure.
Swift action followed. Secret Service personnel, ever-vigilant, rushed the sedan, surrounding it with drawn weapons and instructing the driver to exit the vehicle.
Initial reports suggested the sedan may have attempted to enter the closed-off intersection, raising immediate alarms, but later clarifications indicated it simply collided with the parked SUV and did not breach the secure perimeter.
Despite the disruption, the presidential motorcade proceeded as planned.
President and First Lady Jill Biden were swiftly ushered into their vehicle, unharmed and seemingly unfazed by the incident.
Their motorcade departed without further incident and the president’s schedule remained unaffected.
While Secret Service spokesperson Steve Kopek downplayed the event, acknowledging it as a “non-security incident,” the rain-soaked streets of Wilmington cast a shadow of doubt.
Kopek assured the public that “there was no protective interest associated with this event,” but the dramatic scene of drawn weapons and a crashed vehicle was bound to raise concerns.
Footage of the aftermath circulating online showed the crumpled fenders of the vehicles involved and the somber faces of Secret Service agents on the scene.
