Steve Kopek, a Special Agent and spokesperson for the Secret Service, clarified that the vehicle involved in the collision was part of the security detail for Biden’s motorcade.
“There was no protective interest associated with this event and the President's motorcade departed without incident,” he stated.
The collision occurred shortly after the Bidens left a dinner meeting with staffers and volunteers at their re-election campaign headquarters in downtown Wilmington. Despite the incident, the Bidens proceeded to their residence in Wilmington.
