VP nominee Tim Walz’s motorcade crashes.

On Labor Day, both Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz were busy on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. While Harris was making appearances in Pennsylvania, Walz had a scheduled event in Milwaukee to celebrate Labor Day.

However, the day took a turn for the worse when vans carrying members of the press, part of Governor Walz’s motorcade, were involved in a crash on Interstate 794 around 1 p.m. Journalists who were traveling with the vice presidential nominee described the incident as intense, with one staff member suffering a broken arm and requiring immediate medical attention. The collision occurred when one van collided with another in front of it, causing a chain reaction that resulted in significant damage.

Fortunately, Governor Walz’s vehicle was not affected by the crash, according to the campaign. Despite the setback, the press and staff members involved in the accident managed to regroup and reach LaborFest approximately an hour later, ready to resume their coverage of the day’s events.

It is crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved in campaign activities, especially during chaotic moments like the one experienced on Labor Day. As developments unfold, it is essential to remain vigilant and adaptable, ensuring that the campaign proceeds smoothly and without further incident.
