Vice President Joe Biden was in midtown today for a taping of the John Stewart show, and his security detail hit a bit of a snag while paving his way to the show.
Three advance vehicles belonging to the NYPD were moving down 49th Street near 10th Avenue when they slammed into the back of a livery cab, officials said. The cars apparently had lights and sirens on at the time, officials said.
Four people -- two NYPD officers and two civilians -- were injured, NYPD spokeswoman Barbara Chen said.
Mr. Biden wasn't in the trail of cars at the time. His official motorcade was not affected and continued on as planned, the NYPD said.
Last week, two of the Vice President's official vehicles were involved in a tragedy outside of Washington.
According to The Hill.com, two Secret Service employees struck and killed a man last Wednesday in the cars the agency uses to transport Biden.

Didnt somebody die when struck by his Secret Service detail car about a week or two ago?
This is what the VEEP does? What an idiot.
yes, in Maryland
What a joke these chumps are.
Midtown traffic was a horrific mess tonight, and now I know why.
Is this the second or the third accident with the biden/keystone cops transportation service?
This is the third incident in a week. Two vehicles from Biden’s motorcade killed a man several days ago...Then another accident in an intersection, and now this. And none of it makes the fringe media...
Yes.
Biden definately has some seriously retarded non-driving people on his detail.
Biden lied and pedestrians died.
Gerald Ford hits somebody with a golf ball and he hears about for the rest of his life. Cheney shoots his friend - non-fatally - and the din never dies down.
Biden and crew have a serious, including fatal, accident a week for three weeks and you hear...
...crickets.
You and I would be thrown in jail.
Yes, it’s in the article. I remembered seeing that as a tidbit in one of the papers. Who are these people? Why are his drivers killing people? Does anyone care?
> Does anyone care? <
No one inside the beltway cares about the road kill.
Maybe we need to Turk him a little.
TURK 182 shout out for the O.
The problem is that Joe emits a very bad subatomic entity known as Bideninos. Known as a jinx is some circles.
Important government business.
No doubt he took Air Force 2 and had the usual complement of helicopters, coast guard boats along the river, police cars, and Secret Service agents.
A pedestrian in Suitland Maryland killed last week near Andrews Air Force Base.
