Republican Ben Carson temporarily suspended his US presidential bid Tuesday when four members of his campaign team were in a serious car accident in Iowa, where the first votes in the nomination process will be cast.
A van transporting the group "hit a patch of ice and flipped on its side where it was struck by another vehicle," Carson's campaign said in a statement.
One volunteer was being transported to a trauma center in Omaha, Nebraska, while three others including a campaign staffer who was driving the vehicle were being checked at an Iowa hospital.
"I'm suspending all campaign activities today due to a car accident involving members of our team," Carson said on Twitter.

I just read that a Texas Tech volunteer, Braden Joplin, has passed. Dr Carson had flown his parents in from TX, but they were too late arriving, he’d already passed. So tragic, my heart bleeds for his family, his friends, and the Carsons.

Very sorry to hear about this. Trump addressed it, and asked folks to pray for them.
