Several vehicles in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's motorcade were involved in a minor crash on the way to a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Labor Day, resulting in some minor injuries, Walz said.
“Some of you may have heard that some of my staff and members of the press who were traveling with us were involved in a traffic accident on their way here today,” Walz said at a campaign event Monday after the crash. “We've talked to the staff. I'm relieved to say that with some minor injuries, everyone is going to be OK. So thank you.”
She added that Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden, who were campaigning together on Monday, “called to check on them and we certainly appreciate their concern. And I want to express my sincere thanks to the U.S. Secret Service and all of the local first responders for their quick response to help. So on behalf of the vice president and myself and our entire campaign, we are grateful for their work today and every day.”

Earlier, a reporter in a pool report said a member of Walz's staff appeared to have a broken arm and was treated by medics at the scene.
The crash occurred between pickup trucks near the rear of the caravan shortly before 1 p.m. as they headed from the airport to LaborFest on Monday.
