The car accident that involved Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and members of his staff on Tuesday was the result of a rear-end collision within his motorcade, police said.
The accident occurred while the motorcade was en route to a fundraising event in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
According to the Chattanooga police, the crash occurred on I-75 near East Brainerd Road. A release from the department stated that the motorcade “came up on slow traffic, and the lead vehicle had to brake quickly, which caused a rear-end collision involving the other vehicles.”
