The motorcade for Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine’s fell victim to a motor vehicle collision Saturday evening near Tampa, Fla.
A car rammed into the side of the press bus in the Kaine motorcade as they were heading to the airport, according to multiple reports from journalists on social media. One journalist said the press bus was hit by what seemed to be a police car at “high speed.”
Our press bus was just hit on the side at very high speed by what appeared to be a police car as we are in motorcade towards airport.
