President Biden After Motorcade Collision: Driver Faces DUI Charges
When the event occurred, the President had just finished a dinner at his Wilmington campaign headquarters. Following the crash, Secret Service officials brought President Biden, who had just completed answering a reporter’s question, to his SUV, where First Lady Jill Biden was waiting.
Wilmington police said a 46-year-old Wilmington man drove the vehicle and faced DUI and inattentive driving charges. Police investigated the collision, which damaged the front bumper of the gold Ford sedan, to determine if impairment was a factor.
Authorities later declared the collision accidental. A Wilmington Police Department official said the car crash did not injure anyone. Authorities investigated whether impairment caused the crash. The U.S. Secret Service also stated President Biden left safely and without danger.
President Biden Safe, No Harm to President and First Lady
According to the statement, the other vehicle hit a Secret Service vehicle securing the President’s motorcade route around 8:09 p.m. The statement stressed that the collision had no protective interest, and the President’s motorcade continued without incident.
ABC News footage showed a gold Ford vehicle involved. Front bumper damage was observed after the incident on the sedan. The crash generated a little disturbance, but President Biden left the area safely.
The sedan-SUV incident in President Biden’s convoy was accidental, despite initial concerns. Driver charged with DUI and inattentive driving risks legal ramifications. Fortunately, neither President Biden nor the First Lady were injured, and the Secret Service said the President was not threatened.
