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.

If this was just a DUI or something, the driver is going to have a very very bad time.
- A car accident is horrifying enough. Can you imagine realizing you just hit the presidential motorcade? In Delaware?
  
  Is Delaware worse for some reason?
- On the other hand, the driver probably has a uniquely high chance of a presidential pardon. Seeing how the president is already aware of his case.
  
  The president could only ask the delaware governor to grant one.
  
  If he gets pardoned and it happens again can he use the same pardon twice?
  
  Would this be considered a federal offense? Seems like a local thing. The president can only pardon federal crimes.
- Decidedly one of the worst hangovers anyone's ever had. "What happened last ni-oh my God"
- Immediately disappeared to a black site.
  
  Yeah I was hoping for an update, but I just realized the Secret Service is going to be up this guy's ass like a colonoscopy for a long time before we hear anything.
- To be fair, he shouldn't suffer any greater punishment than if he had hit into anyone else.
Well, I'm fucked.
That guy, probably.
Shoutout ma man biden still rockin that iPhone X or XS. You don't always have to have the latest and greatest.
- You don’t always have to have the latest and greatest.
  That's why we have Biden
  
  AOC president when?
  
  Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough 🙂
  
  Wouldn't the latest president be Washington?
- On the other end, I remember when Obama came into office and there were no smartphones certified for meeting the security regulations, the USSS & NSA had to work with RIM to build a custom hardened blackberry because he wouldn't give it up.
  He was stuck with that blackberry until his last year or two in office and complained publicly that iPhones weren't allowed yet lol
  
  Then there's Trump, who was probs rolling an FSB build of iOS with a passcode of 1111.
- No better way to keep a poor person poor than trying to appear rich.
  
  Case in point "luxury" clothes that cost insane amounts of money just because they have labels printed on them for everyone to see and not because.the fabric is particularly great.
  Sure it's good quality but not better than what you get for half the price and not even close to the custom tailored stuff the really rich people wear...
  Really don't understand how people spend a fortune to walk around advertising for Gucci, LV, etc...
Wish there was footage. Seeing the secret service surround the driver sounds cool
- 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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
Imagine you have a fender bender, and while you're processing it and thinking "oh fuck where did I put my insurance card" as you hastily dig through your glove box, you look up and there's a dozen dudes with suits and guns surrounding you
And then you have to go to work afterward lol
"Hey Bob, how was your drive in this morning?"
- You really think they’re letting that driver go to work any time soon?
  They’re probably still just gettting started with the probes. And I don’t mean that… figuratively. We’ll not just figuratively.
- Got in a bit of a fender bender. No big deal really. turns off tv playing local news
He's lucky it wasn't a mystery plane trying to land
