The U.S. Secret Service said the sedan driver unintentionally struck a parked SUV that was providing security for the president’s route. The driver of the car then tried to continue into a closed off intersection before Secret Service agents made their way to the vehicle.

Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle and told the male driver to put his hands up. The incident occurred just after the president and first lady had left his campaign headquarters following a holiday event with staffers. According to reports, the president’s schedule was not affected by the collision.

As 2024 quickly approaches things on the campaign trail are beginning to heat up for both President Biden and his potential GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump. But few Americans are looking forward to another 2020 showdown between Biden and Trump.

According to an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey, 56% of respondents said they would be unhappy with Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, and 58% of people said don’t want to see Trump as the GOP nominee, though polls show that will likely be the choice for voters in 2024.
