Accidents are never pleasant, but a recent mishap in Delaware took an unusual twist when a driver found himself in the middle of President Joe Biden’s motorcade. On the evening of December 17, in Wilmington, the driver of a Ford Five Hundred inadvertently crashed into one of the vehicles in the presidential convoy, causing a startling scene but fortunately no injuries.
The incident occurred as President Biden was leaving a campaign event, with First Lady Jill Biden already in her SUV. Video footage captures the moment the president, who was just about to enter his vehicle, is startled by a loud thud as the Ford Five Hundred collides with the motorcade. Secret Service agents quickly intervened, ensuring the president’s safety and allowing the motorcade to proceed without further delay.
While the accident didn’t result in any injuries, the Ford Five Hundred and a motorcade SUV sustained noticeable damage. The front bumper of the Five Hundred was severely damaged, and the motorcade SUV also had a dented fender. Secret Service and local police promptly surrounded the vehicle, but the incident was deemed an honest mistake with no security threat involved.
