In November of last year, Biden's motorcade was involved in three accidents in one week. THREE!
One of the crashes included a fatality. That's horrible.
The incident didn't get a lot of press. Of course, if Dick Cheney's motorcade had been involved in several accidents and a fatality, the lib media would probably still be talking about it.
Naturally, the media don't question why Biden's motorcade has such an awful safety record.
Unfortunately, Biden's motorcade was involved in yet another crash. This one took place in Vancouver. Olympians Peggy Fleming and Vonetta Flowers received minor injuries in the accident.
From FOX News:
Figure skating great Peggy Fleming and former bobsled champion Vonetta Flowers sustained minor injuries Sunday in a traffic accident while riding with hockey Olympian Mike Eruzione in Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade at the Vancouver Olympics.
Biden was in a different vehicle and wasn't involved in the accident.
Fleming said she was in a van with Flowers, Eruzione, as well as White House and Secret Service personnel. The motorcade was heading to a hockey game when the van was rear-ended.
Fleming said Biden had a physician traveling with him who tended everybody on the scene. They also were checked at a hospital as a precaution.
"It was a big, huge van. We were thrown really hard and Vonetta hit her head on the seat cushion in front of her," Fleming said.
The group never made it to the hockey game, but Fleming and Flowers later attended a figure skating competition, sitting in the row in front of Biden.
Olympic authorities said the accident happened shortly before noon. Fleming, Flowers and Eruzione were in the motorcade's next-to-last vehicle. After their van was struck, it hit the vehicle in front of it.
Scott Gordon, spokesman for the Integrated Security Unit, said the accident was possibly caused by poor road conditions and perhaps an oil slick. The accident remains under investigation.
..."It was just a really jarring twist of the neck, but I think we're going to be OK," Fleming said. "I think I'll have a stiff neck tomorrow and stiff muscles."
Thankfully, Fleming and Flowers are OK. No one was seriously injured.
The question remains: Why does Biden's motorcade have such a horrible safety record?
It's historic, but not at all in a good way.
At least Vice President Biden hasn't shot anyone in the face yet.
