Joe Biden’s motorcade was involved in an accident again! This time in Vancouver

Joe-Biden_dumbestThis is now the fourth time Joe Biden’s methods of transportation have been involved in an accident. The driver obviously must be about as smart as Biden himself. According to Politico, this one happened in Vancouver, where Biden has been this past weekend as the leader of the U.S. delegation at the winter Olympics, and where he took his smack down from Dick Cheney today.

The incident resulted in minor injuries to two members of the delegation who were traveling in a van as part of the motorcade, according to a statement from Biden spokesman Jay Carney. Peggy Flemming, the gold medal-winning ice skater, and Vonetta Flowers, a gold medalist in women’s bobsledding, were taken to a local hospital as a precaution, Carney said.

“They were both evaluated and have since been released,” he said. “Neither the Vice President nor anyone else in his party was involved in the incident.”

The incident marks the fourth time Biden’s security detail has been involved in an accident. The other three took place in November. A car in Biden’s motorcade hit a sheriff’s deputy in New Mexico. The vice president’s advance security detail hit a cab in New York City. And while he was not in it, a vehicle in Biden’s motorcade killed a pedestrian in Maryland. Temple Hills, MD. — Carol E. Lee (8:41 p.m.)

The crash occurred when a vehicle in Biden’s motorcade rear-ended the one in front of it, sending that vehicle into a third, according to local news reports, which also say the crash is under investigation with an oil spill being considered as a possible cause. (9:02 p.m.).
