A car collided with a Secret Service vehicle protecting President Joe Biden's motorcade in Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday evening, causing a security scare that startled the President and his wife. The President and First Lady were safe, and the Secret Service confirmed there was no protective interest associated with the incident, indicating it was accidental. The driver, identified as 46-year-old James Cooper, was charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and inattentive driving.

The President saw the crash unfold and was quickly rushed into an armored SUV for safety. Meanwhile, reporters, who were questioning Biden just moments before, were instructed to join the motorcade as security personnel secured the area. Last year, another security incident occurred near Biden's vacation home when a small private plane mistakenly entered restricted airspace, leading to a brief evacuation of the President and First Lady.
