It was not immediately clear why the sedan smashed into an SUV that was part of the motorcade. The driver was surrounded by agents who had their guns drawn.

A sedan smacked into a Secret Service vehicle that was part of President Joe Biden’s motorcade in Delaware on Sunday night.

Following the crash, U.S. Secret Service agents whisked Biden into a vehicle.

Agents quickly surrounded the sedan with guns drawn and aimed at its driver, who had his hands up. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.

Special Agent Steve Kopek, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the vehicle that struck was securing Biden’s motorcade route.

    A car accident is horrifying enough. Can you imagine realizing you just hit the presidential motorcade? In Delaware?

      Is Delaware worse for some reason?

        Just the realization that you’re in Delaware is enough.

        Like, who even lives in Delaware?

          I remember the first time I met a person from Delaware. I was shocked. I think I said to them, “I didn’t know anyone actually lived there.”

            Maybe we just don’t know what they do about Delaware and that’s why they never leave. It’s a paradise beyond paradises.

        I believe it’s Biden’s home state, so people around there probably love him. Can’t imagine being very popular with your neighbors once news gets out.
