A weekend incident in Wilmington, Delaware, involved a drunk driver crashing into a parked SUV that was part of President Joe Biden’s motorcade. James Cooper, 46, was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and inattentive driving after plowing into the vehicle securing the area around Biden’s campaign headquarters. Fortunately, neither President Biden nor First Lady Jill Biden were harmed in the collision.
The crash occurred as Biden was walking towards his armored SUV, which was surrounded by U.S. Secret Service vehicles. Despite the loud bang and damage from the crash, Secret Service agents quickly contained the situation, ensuring the Bidens were safely escorted away. The motorcade continued without delay, and the incident was deemed accidental with no further threat to the president.
