It was not immediately clear why the sedan smashed into an SUV that was part of the motorcade. The driver was surrounded by agents who had their guns drawn.
A sedan smacked into a Secret Service vehicle that was part of President Joe Biden's motorcade in Delaware on Sunday night.
Following the crash, U.S. Secret Service agents whisked Biden into a vehicle.
Agents quickly surrounded the sedan with guns drawn and aimed at its driver, who had his hands up. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.
Special Agent Steve Kopek, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the vehicle that struck was securing Biden's motorcade route.

Yes getting into an accident and then immediately surrounded by aggressive machines of death pointed at you... Sounds like a blast
I'm certainly no A2 lovin back the blue gun nut but if there's any group that I feel completely fine with having guns, it's the president's secret service. These folks are held to the highest standards with the highest training guarding arguably the most important political figure in the world. They are not your average frumpy ass cop with a drinking problem and anger management issues. These sneaky fuckers are hand picked from the best of the best. You never hear about the secret service gunning someone down because they were just in a bad mood that day.
Lol ok put your dicks away, the Secret Service (in the past decade or two at least) has been laughably unprofessional and, in some cases, derelict in their duty. In fact, the scandals are too numerous to even just point to a single one.
Just Google "Secret Service scandals" and take a look for yourself. Make sure to pay attention to the dates on the articles to see how long they have had these problems.
And after you're disoriented from an accident, you know none of that. All you know is something happened. Now you're covered with airbag powder, your ears are ringing, blood maybe, and now an armed gang surrounds your car and starts screaming at you.
No that's not COOL. That's a dystopia. If you arm your civilians to the teeth, the violent reactions required for any situation escalate dramatically.
Bruh it wasn't just an accident. This was the presidential motorcade and secret service. Literally everybody in a 10-block radius knew who was there, and whether they had permission to be there.
This person drove their car into the motorcade, and then kept going. Secret service's job is to protect the president, and as far as anybody knew, this was someone after the president. They weren't harassing some idiot that was driving drunk, they were pursuing and engaging a very real potential threat to the leader of the nation.
I like how through these comments, you've called other users "stupid Americans" and you don't even know anything about the event in question. Good job kid.
I remember when I lived in Denver and Dubya was president. I225 was completely shut down and I was stuck in a huge traffic jam on the dam road just trying to get around that big old empty highway to get home. One does not simply drive into the presidential motorcade. I mean maybe a massive screwup happened but it seems incredibly unlikely that this guy didn't do it on purpose.
This is your brain on edgy puberty hormones.
This you?
He said to see the footage. Not to be the guy driving. More of you need to think 5 minutes before actually writing a comment.
It's the same thing. You want to see someone be terrorized versus someone being terrorized. Americans are fucking stupid.
Have you watched tv lately. Someone gets terrorized in like every show/movie. It's want humans want to see apparently.
Idiot
So do you never watch modern action movies then? Or even just the daily news? Wanting to see how something happened doesn't mean you want it to happen again or at all, but knowing how it happened can prevent it from happening again.
Yes, as a whole, we are, but in this situation, the only one who's stupid, is the person who's saying, "close your eyes and cover your ears and it doesn't exist."
Edit: All these chucklechodes hyper-fixating on the example I used instead of what I was saying. Not wanting to see something on the principal of 'it's bad' is the height of ignorance. Instead, you watch so you can learn from something. In this case, someone discouraging review of the incident, sets a tone of incompetent malpractice that is the exact reason why this world is the way it is.
Some of us Americans can separate entertaining fiction from horrific reality.
Gotta admit it's getting more difficult by the day
Probably by, you know, comparison...
No, you misunderstand. I want to see the guy who managed to fuck up bad enough surrounded by secret service, not myself.
Cool for us, not for them.
