A Delaware man is facing charges of drunk driving after accidentally colliding with U.S. President Joe Biden's motorcade on Sunday night, as reported by Wilmington police on Monday. The incident, described as an "accidental collision," occurred outside the president's campaign headquarters.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden were entering their vehicle when the 46-year-old Wilmington resident crashed into a motorcade SUV, located approximately 200 feet away. Fortunately, both the president and the first lady emerged unharmed from the incident.
The suspect has been charged with driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and inattentive driving, according to David Karas, a spokesman for the Wilmington Police Department. The authorities have not released the man's name.
