Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade was involved in a crash on Monday, and some reports state that Secret Service members may have misreported the incident.
involved initially reported to their superiors that the incident was due to a"mechanical failure" but later confirmed that the agent driving had"overcorrected." Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle reportedly expressed concern that agents had incorrectly reported the incident to their superiors, according to the Washington Post.
"During a protective movement this morning, a vehicle in a motorcade overcorrected and struck a curb. Out of an abundance of caution, the protectee was transferred to a secondary vehicle and the motorcade continued to its destination," Secret Service Communications Chief Anthony Guglielmi told Politico.
"Initial radio traffic indicated this was a mechanical failure, and that was communicated to agency leadership by personnel supporting the motorcade movement," he said continued."After the protective movement was completed, leadership was verbally updated with additional pertinent facts that the vehicle struck a curb."Cheatle, who entered the top role at the USSS in August, only discovered after the fact that the driver had struck a roadside curb leading into a tunnel.
