Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considered to be one of the front-runners for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, emerged unscathed from a car accident in Tennessee on Tuesday morning, according to his campaign team. The incident occurred while the governor and his team were en route to an event in Chattanooga.

In a statement released by campaign spokesperson Bryan Griffin, it was confirmed that DeSantis and his team were uninjured in the crash. Griffin expressed the campaign's gratitude for the prayers and well wishes from the nation, emphasizing the importance of the governor's safety while on the campaign trail.

The details of the accident remain undisclosed, with no additional information provided by the campaign at this time. The incident, however, did not deter the governor's plans to attend a pair of private fundraisers in Chattanooga.

As news of the accident spread, concerns for DeSantis' well-being were expressed across the nation. The governor, aged 44, is seen as the main contender against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 Republican primary race.
