CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WFLA) — A four-vehicle motorcade ushering Gov. Ron DeSantis to a campaign stop in Chattanooga was involved in a pile-up in Tennessee, according to officials.
The Chattanooga Police Department said the motorcade was traveling along I-75 South near East Brainerd Road when it encountered slow traffic. Authorities said, “the lead vehicle had to brake quickly, which caused a rear-end collision involving the other vehicles.”
The vehicles involved were all government vehicles accompanying the governor and his team to his scheduled event.
DeSantis was not injured and continued on to the event.
“We appreciate the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his continued protection while on the campaign trail,” Campaign press secretary Bryan Griffin said in a statement.
Authorities noted a female staffer suffered a minor injury, but continued on to the event and was treated there. No other details were immediately available.
