Vice President Biden’s motorcade was involved in an accident Sunday afternoon in Vancouver, where he has been over the weekend as the leader of the U.S. delegation at the winter Olympics.
Two members of the U.S. delegation – 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, according to a statement from Biden spokesman Jay Carney.
“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.
Doh!
#19 Pedrito, what are you celebrating about? You are wrong again but this time you have company? Always wrong is nothing to be proud of – with or without company.
In college I drove a hearse in funeral motorcades and I’m a little surprised there aren’t more accidents with motorcades.
Even with the police escort, other drivers need to be head’s up.
Where was Dick Cheney?
#21 Wrong how? Here you are, on the sheeple parade. Right on queue!
Just think of it as Darwin’s Bumper Car. If you don’t like the way our gooberment employees drive, stay off the guardrail.
When you have someone whose primary experience is riding a train, then you should expect car accidents.
Its hard to make this political, but it is kinda funny.
They should send Biden’s Motorcade to join the fight in Afghanistan, seems very effective.
Eric #18.
Now that was Funny!!
Out of necessity, most high ranking motorcades have a sense of arrogance to them. Everyone had better get out of the way or else. That usually works when you have 2,500 local cops keeping the plebeians back. Not so good in another country when the police are stretched thin and concerned with other matters.
#19 Now, the sheeple will color us Repukes and go on a denial rampage.
We color you “Repukes” because you only criticize Democrats. Oh, and you criticize Dubya too. Wow, what a stretch. Everyone is criticizing Dubya now, even the people who worshiped him most fervently.
You want to appear bipartisan, criticize Republican senator Richard Shelby for putting a blanket hold on over 70 of Obama’s nominees just because his home state isn’t getting enough pork.
Go ahead, little pedro. Give it a shot. Try to pretend more convincingly.
What a surprise… no response from little pedro.
#32 That’s because Pedro has used up his per post allotment of “Sheeple” responses.
#31 Deflection & projection. That’s all you were taught to do? Quite pathetic. The point remains and you’re still low-level sheeple.
#32 Well, unlike you that not here only when you’re being spanked by your masters, I have a life.
I apologize for not expanding a bit in what a life is knowing full well that you sheeples have no clue what the hell that is.
#33 The only thing marginally funny I’ve seen you write lately Dullas. Kudos!
If only you knew how idiotic you look, little pedro.
#5 Right Fido. I always look like an idiot everytime I twist reality to excuse my master’s stupidity.
Stop projecting, will ya!
The good thing about your information is that it is explicit enough for students to grasp. Thanks for your efforts in spreading academic knowledge.
