While Biden was walking from the campaign office to his waiting armored SUV, a sedan hit a US Secret Service vehicle that was being used to close off intersections near the headquarters for the president’s departure. The sedan then tried to continue into a closed-off intersection, before Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle with weapons drawn and instructed the driver to put his hands up.
Biden was ushered into his waiting vehicle, where his wife was already seated, before being driven swiftly back to their home. His schedule was otherwise unaffected by the incident.
A car collided with a motorcade SUV that was part of President Joe Biden's security detail on Sunday, a Reuters eyewitness said.
Television footage showed secret service agents escorting Biden to his car after the impact.
The car, which received damage to its bumper, was quickly surrounded by police.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden are safe, the witness said.
Biden and his wife had just left his campaign headquarters after having a meal of pasta with tomato sauce with members of his re-election team.
Security officers surrounded the vehicle after it stopped and the Bidens returned safely to their home in Wilmington.
