DELAWARE, USA: Late on Sunday night, a car collided with a parked Secret Service SUV, part of President Joe Biden’s motorcade, as he was leaving his campaign headquarters.
Fortunately, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden emerged unharmed from the incident.
As President Biden walked towards his armored SUV, a sedan struck a Secret Service vehicle responsible for securing intersections near the campaign headquarters.

The sedan attempted to proceed into a closed-off intersection, prompting Secret Service personnel to surround the vehicle with drawn weapons and instruct the driver to raise their hands.
Biden quickly entered his waiting vehicle, already occupied by the First Lady, and was promptly driven back to their residence.
Despite the unnerving event, the president’s schedule remained unaffected. The Secret Service has yet to provide an immediate comment on the incident.
