Presidential Motorcade Accident

ABC’s Jon Garcia Reports: The wintry mix that is afflicting the east coast today has no respect for executive power.  One car in the President’s motorcade en route to Camp David — although not the one carrying the President — was involved in an accident, seemingly due to the poor weather conditions. It did not immediately appear to the media on the scene that anyone was seriously injured. Another media car decided to turn back and return to the White House.

One reporter travelling with the White House pool in the motorcade described the scene this way:

"A wild ride through the snow to Camp David. Left White House at 2:12 pm and the motorcade wove in and out of bumper to bumper traffic in rain and sleet, often using breakdown lanes. At 3 pm, just south of the Urbana exit in Frederick County the motorcade was involved in an accident when a motorcade SUV  and a private car spun off he road into the median strip. The (president’s) vehicle not involved."
