President Joe Biden’s routine visit to a Wilmington campaign office ended with an unexpected jolt when a car crashed into a parked SUV from his motorcade on Sunday evening. The incident occurred just after 8 p.m. as Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were leaving the event, where they had been thanking staff for their efforts in his reelection campaign.

Following the incident, the driver was charged with drunk driving and inattentive driving.

The crash caused a loud noise that briefly disrupted the area, but the president’s departure was not delayed. The Secret Service confirmed that the incident did not pose a serious threat to Biden, and his schedule proceeded as planned. This event highlights the importance of rigorous security measures, as even minor accidents can cause significant concern during high-profile events.
