Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a one-car crash on a closed roadway in Washington, D.C., which the Secret Service initially misreported as a "mechanical failure," according to a report.
The Monday morning crash has sent shock waves through the Secret Service, according to insiders speaking with the Washington Post. While the vice president wasn't injured, the nature of the accident has raised the question of how such a careless incident was able to occur within the prestigious agency.
The SUV carrying Harris hit a curb of a tunnel with such force that the tire had to be replaced. The vice president was moved to another vehicle in the motorcade to reach the White House.
The inaccuracy of the initial report of the accident, an electronic alert to leadership attributing it to a "mechanical failure" rather than the Secret Service agent driving the SUV hitting a curb, caused Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, who has been on the job for about a month, to be disturbed but was relieved after receiving a fuller account later in the day, a source told the news outlet.
Video posted to TikTok appears to show Harris's motorcade.

“During a protective movement Monday, a vehicle in a motorcade had a minor overcorrection and struck a curb,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Washington Post. “The protectee was transferred to a secondary vehicle, and the motorcade continued to its destination. There were no injuries to anyone.”
A spokeswoman for Harris confirmed that she sustained no injuries in the incident and took the opportunity to express her gratitude to the Secret Service.

That reminds me of a certain scene from “The World According to Garp”.😱
Time to fund a set of Bilstein shocks.
That was my first thought.
Libs used to joke that if anything happened to GHW Bush, the Secret Service had orders to shoot Dan Quayle.
With the current VP, that psychotic scenario might seem almost appealing to them.
Bravo. Good post.
“I’m curious if the driver had been drinking.”
Stuck in a car having to listen to her could very well cause that...
That intersection sucks but the SS should have traveled it hundreds of times so no excuse.
That is “K” Street NW and is as straight as an arrow for about twelve blocks. Anybody test the driver for alcohol?
Maybe Harris was practicing one of her loopy speeches and the driver felt the need to commit sudden suicide?
Did Camilla attack an ss agent by the neck and grab the steering wheel to head towards the Capitol?
Inquiring minds want to know....
morning crash has sent shock waves!!!!!!! NOT
I’ll bet her detail has lots of equity.
Vishnu, Take the Wheel!
This is the beginning of a legal (unfortunately) transition of personnel at the POTUS and VPOTUS positions. This ‘incident’ is Kamal-Ho’s first warning (resign or die).
1) Kamal-Ho resigns to seek other opportunities.
2) Xiden appoints a new VPOTUS, probably Newsom.
3) Xiden resigns, Newsom advances to POTUS.
4) Skiping over Pelousy, Newsom appoints some other commie fanatic to VPOTUS.
Viola! the left now has younger blood in power without any loss of ideology.
Maybe she was trying to give directions and got caught up in a word salad.
