US Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Walz Unharmed After Motorcade Collision

A motorcade carrying Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic candidate for vice-president, was involved in a multi-car crash in Milwaukee on Monday. The incident occurred at around 1:00 p.m. local time on Interstate 794. Fortunately, Governor Walz was not injured in the accident, as the vehicles involved were at the rear of the motorcade and were transporting members of the press who were covering his campaign.

Reporters described being “violently thrown forward” when their vehicle was struck from behind, causing a chain reaction that led their car to collide with the one in front. At least one person sustained injuries, with reports indicating a possible broken arm.

The cause of the crash remains unclear. Despite the accident, Governor Walz continued to his scheduled appearance at a Milwaukee Labor Day event. Addressing the incident during his speech, Walz expressed relief that everyone involved was expected to recover, thanking the Secret Service and local first responders for their quick response.

“Some of my staff and members of the press that were travelling up with us were involved in a traffic accident on the way here today. We’ve spoken with the staff,” he told the crowd. “I’m relieved to say that with a few minor injuries, everybody’s going to be okay.”

Vice-President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden both reached out to check on Governor Walz after the crash. Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance also expressed his concern on social media, wishing for everyone’s safety. Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), Vance said, “Hoping everyone’s OK.”

This incident follows another motorcade-related crash just last week, in which a Georgia policeman was seriously injured while escorting the campaign convoy. Motorcade vehicles are often driven by campaign staff, who may not always have professional driving experience, raising concerns about the safety of campaign travel.
