A vehicle in Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz's motorcade was involved in an accident in Wisconsin on Monday, according to multiple reports.
Two vans carrying media personnel were involved in the crash at the back of Waltz's motorcade, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Hope Karnop, who was in one of the vehicles, reported on X.

According to reports, a media van behind the motorcade stopped after the accident, but Walz's car continued on to its destination, a campaign rally in Milwaukee.
“Our van struck the van in front of us, which struck us from behind, throwing us violently forward,” reads the pool report shared with X by NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman.
