DELAWARE: The President of the United States, Joe Biden, on Sunday night, was left startled when a car crashed into an SUV which was part of his motorcade following a meal with his staff.

The car collided with the motorcade as the president and First Lady Jill Biden were leaving his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware at around 8pm, Daily Mail reported.

The motorcade was hit by a silver copper sedan at an intersection, which caused damage to the black SUV.

While the couple remained unharmed in the incident, Biden appeared to be caught off guard as he looked over at the aftermath of the crash.

The driver of the sedan had his hands raised inside the car immediately after the collision, and armed agents quickly drew their weapons on him.

However, the identity of the driver has not been disclosed yet.

The first lady was wishing "Happy Holidays" to journalists at the campaign headquarters when the car collided with the motorcade, producing a loud bang and leaving the president startled.

The driver of the sedan attempted to enter a closed intersection, but Secret Service agents surrounded it with weapons and instructed the driver to raise his hands.

The driver quickly complied, while nearby reporters were escorted away.

"They're evacuating, you guys gotta go," a staffer told journalists as security personnel secured the area.
