Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:
Tight security that surrounds President Biden was breached in spectacular fashion on Sunday night after a car collided with part of the presidential parked motorcade in Wilmington, Delaware.
Secret Service agents drew their weapons on a black driver as the vehicle appeared to ram into an SUV that had closed down a street while Biden attended a nearby campaign event.
The president and the First Lady had just emerged from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters in downtown Wilmington just after 8pm.
The first lady was wishing ‘Happy Holidays’ to waiting journalists. Just as the president emerged and his exit was interrupted by a car that hit one of the SUV’s in the motorcade.
The president and first lady were unharmed.

ABC 7 Chicago had these details to add:
A car plowed into a parked SUV that was guarding President Joe Biden ‘s motorcade Sunday night while the president was leaving a visit to his campaign headquarters. The president and first lady Jill Biden were unharmed.
While Biden was walking from the campaign office to his waiting armored SUV, a sedan hit a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was being used to close off intersections near the headquarters for the president’s departure. The sedan then tried to continue into a closed-off intersection, before Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle with weapons drawn and instructed the driver to put his hands up.
