A vehicle in Joe Biden’s convoy was hit by a car on Sunday, surprising the US president as he left his campaign headquarters in Delaware.
The collision of a sedan with an SUV from the convoy positioned at an intersection near the campaign headquarters, about 40 meters from Mr. Biden, caused a loud bang. Officers immediately stopped the silver car, registered in Delaware, and pointed their guns at the driver.
Security personnel immediately rushed the president into a waiting vehicle and took him away from the building in downtown Wilmington.
Gathered on the sidewalk in front of the campaign offices, where the president and Jill Biden had dined with their team, the pool reporters had just finished questioning Mr. Biden at the exit when the sound of the collision rang out, revealing an expression surprise on the president’s face.
The journalists were quickly rounded up by staff to join the convoy which was leaving the scene in the rain.
“They are evacuating, you need to leave,” a staff member told reporters as security personnel secured the area. Mr. Biden arrived safely at his family home without further incident.
