Biden wasn’t in the hit SUV and was getting dinner then. Drinking by the driver might be involved.

This almost reads like a Simpsons gag. “Mom! Homer was in a car crash! Actually he was drinking and driving! Nobody was hurt but he ran into a Secret Service car. Part of the Presidential Motorcade!” I see from the article that the driver is the same age and drives the same car as my boyfriend. Doh! ---

My uncle was a police officer. His squad car was once hit by a drunk driver. I always thought that hitting a police car was the dumbest thing you could do while driving drunk, but apparently I was wrong. ---
