In a startling turn of events on Sunday evening, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden narrowly escaped a potentially dangerous situation when a car plowed into a parked SUV that was part of the president's motorcade. The incident occurred as the Bidens were leaving their re-election campaign offices in downtown Wilmington, Del.

According to the White House, the president and first lady were unharmed in the incident. They had just finished attending an event at their campaign headquarters and were having dinner with members of the campaign staff. President Biden was engaged in a discussion about his polling numbers with reporters when chaos erupted on the streets.

Eyewitnesses reported that a silver vehicle with Delaware license plates collided with a sport utility vehicle associated with the White House. The SUV had been strategically placed to block an intersection providing access to the street the president was visiting. The collision immediately drew the attention of authorities who swiftly responded to the scene.

Reporters in the White House press pool described a tense situation as officials surrounded the car, aiming weapons at the driver. The authorities demanded that the driver open his door, which could be heard in videos posted online. The driver eventually surrendered, and it remains unclear whether the crash was accidental or deliberate.

Photographers on the scene captured the president's surprise as he turned to look at the incident. Agents quickly ushered him into his own vehicle for safety. The White House has referred questions about the cause of the crash to the Secret Service, but no immediate comment was received.

Local law enforcement also remained tight-lipped about the incident, as a spokesperson for the Wilmington Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and further updates are expected.

The incident serves as a reminder of the persistent security threats faced by high-profile figures like President Biden. Despite the alarming situation, the president's schedule was not disrupted, and he continued with his planned activities after the incident.
