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.

Just remember, POTUS can nominate a Vice-President, but both chamberpots must approve.

I’ll bet Buttplug was disappointed by the news.
OK,I get it...but you’ve gotta put Buttplaug’s name into the mix.
Maybe she grabbed the wheel? ☺
Does Hillary have an alibi?
Everything around and about this administration is inept and incompetent.
I don’t know that whoever is running poor Biden has much of an interest in the VP’s well-being.
Kamala Harris’s incumbency makes replacing Biden very complicated.
When is someone going to say “Trump did that”?
+++!!
It must require hazard pay to protect heels-up. Her cackling and mad screeds must in time bring the most disciplined SS member to a state of involuntary twitching.
How many other comments instantly thought of this joke and wrote it down before counting?
I will count them now...
She probably unleashed one of her word-salads, instructing the driver where to go, and that caused him to lose control of the vehicle.
Something like this:
KAMALA: “Driver, I also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for us, one of the directions you can choose to go, is left. Also it has been presented as an issue is that you can go right. This direction is economical, as is left, in the way of its impact has been demonstrated for our travels. So to that end, I am requesting that you choose a right or a left direction, in order to facilitate our arrival in the United States at this time in our history. This essential to, I believe, what is necessary to arrive at our destination, as well as make our travels successful.”
DRIVER: “Whut”
(crashing sounds)
If you’re going to “Princess Diana” the VP you are going to need a bigger tunnel.
