Shocked Joe Biden watches as car crashes into his motorcade: President bundled away by Secret Service as agents draw guns on driver outside campaign headquarters in Delaware

The tight security surrounding President Biden was breached in spectacular fashion on Sunday evening after a car collided with part of the presidential motorcade in Wilmington, Delaware.

Secret Service agents drew their weapons on a black driver when the vehicle appeared to ram into an SUV that had closed a street while Biden attended a nearby campaign event.

The President and First Lady had emerged from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters in downtown Wilmington just after 8 p.m.

The first lady wished the waiting journalists happy holidays. Just as the president was coming out, his departure was interrupted by a car hitting one of the SUVs in the motorcade.

The president and first lady were unharmed.

As Biden walked from the campaign office to his waiting armored SUV, a sedan struck a U.S. Secret Service vehicle being used to close intersections near headquarters for the president’s departure.

The car, a silver sedan with Delaware license plates driven by a black man at the wheel, appeared next to his SUV shielding the motorcade at the intersection opposite the entrance to campaign headquarters.

There was a loud bang and the president seemed genuinely shocked when the collision occurred.

The sedan attempted to continue into a closed intersection before Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle with weapons drawn and ordered the driver to put his hands up.

Officers quickly acted, cornering the car and pulling weapons on the driver.

The man complied and held up his hands as reporters nearby were quickly shuffled away.

Biden and his wife had just left his campaign headquarters after a meal of pasta with tomato sauce with members of his reelection team.

Biden was quickly led to his waiting car, where his wife was already seated, before being quickly driven back to their home.

His schedule was otherwise unaffected by the incident.

The Secret Service did not immediately comment on the incident.

The crash came just as Joe Biden was leaving his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday evening, just after 8 p.m.

Moments earlier, Biden had waved to the gathered reporters and wished them “Happy Holidays.”
