VP Biden's Motorcade Involved In Midtown Crash Witness: Livery Cab Cut Off Unmarked Police Car Escorting Vice President To 'Daily Show With Jon Stewart' Taping Crash Is The Third Involving Vice President's Detail In Last Week NEW YORK (CBS) ―
CBS 2 HD has learned three people, including two members of Vice President Joe Biden's advance team, suffered minor injuries in a Midtown car accident on Tuesday evening.
The two-car crash happened at approximately 5:40 p.m. at 49th Street and 10th Avenue. The victims and a police officer were taken to Roosevelt and New York hospitals. Biden was unharmed.
According to witness Shanikqa Farmer, a tourist from Jacksonville, Fla., a livery cab cut off the unmarked police car escorting Biden's motorcade as it was en route to the vice president's appearance on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, located at 733 11th Ave., near 52nd.
"What I saw was the Secret Service and the limos coming down 49th, and a few seconds later we saw the police emergency vehicles zooming down 49th," Farmer said. "And then we get to the corner and we see the two cars right here and they was trying to pull them out of the cars.

There was one near Andrews Air Force Base in Suitland Maryland, where a pedestrian was killed earlier in the week, another one in Albuquerque just yesterday, and now this! I think Biden’s escort team needs some new drivers — or some drug testing!!!
Isn’t this the second time they have been in wreak?
At least they didn’t kill anyone this time...
Joe should be yukking it up up for retired folks in the Catskills.
He is a mole on the rear end of politics.
No biggie right since no one was run over and later died.....
Funny boy Stewart will make some wise crack about Biden’s ineptitude...
Nah.
Biden’s too dumb to get hurt.
Saw this on Yahoo news and thought it was referring to the crash in which the pedestrian was KILLED by Biden’s motorcade (2 vehicles) - when Biden was not in the vehicles....
But, no, this is ANOTHER wreck?
What gives?
I was just looking up the death that occured on the 11th on FR.
If Dick Cheney’s motorcade had three accidents in a week, and had KILLED an innocent pedestrian....oh, imagine the jokes...
Exactly! The jokes would be unending!! We would be seeing Cheney’s face on EVERY MSM with a picture of the motorcade, the victims, etc etc etc.
I wonder how many jobs the wreck created or saved?
Midtown, is that the 81st Congressional district or the 239th?
“Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride” times 3!
(I just returned from Disneyland with my grandaughter)
Who's in line for the presidency after Biden should something happen to bambi?
Pres. pro tem of Senate
and then
Speaker of the House.
shudder
We know their ambitions know no bounds. Hypothetical: if you were 3rd or 4th in line and decided to bump yourself up - would not the smart thing be to get rid of the VP first?
Then again, maybe the head honcho wants - or is being directed - to make the VP position open for one of their agents/czars?
‘tis curious - these accidents
At any rate,I wonder if Biden's sleeps well these days?
So this is not one accident! It is three!
No. He is a member of that “wreck” called the Nobama administration.
“I wonder how many jobs the wreck created or saved?

LMAO!!
