    In a statement, the Secret Service said “there was no protective interest associated with this event,” meaning the crash was accidental and the driver did not know Mr. Biden was at the event.

    In other words, this isn’t a political event and I really don’t think it should be posted here.

      It’s about the closest the leader of the free world tm, has been to something that kills 43,000 Americansa year. It won’t change anything, but I think it is a political event of a sort.

    President Biden was interrupted while speaking with reporters in downtown Wilmington, Del., on Sunday when a sedan slammed into a parked vehicle in the president’s motorcade, as he was leaving his re-election campaign offices.

    Mr. Biden was discussing his polling numbers when a silver vehicle with Delaware license plates ran into a sport utility vehicle that was associated with the White House and that was blocking an intersection with access to the street Mr. Biden was visiting.

    The officials could be heard demanding that the driver open his door, according to videos posted online.

    Photographers on the scene captured Mr. Biden, surprised, as he turned to look at the incident and before agents ushered him into his vehicle.

    The White House referred questions about the cause of the crash to the Secret Service, which did not immediately return requests for comment.

    A spokesman for the Wilmington Police Department also did not immediately return requests for comment.
