WASHINGTON (AP) — Police in Chattanooga, Tennessee, say a car accident involving Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis happened when traffic slowed down and caused four cars in his motorcade to hit each other. DeSantis’ 2024 Republican presidential campaign confirms he was involved in the accident on Tuesday while traveling to Tennessee campaign events and says he is uninjured. Police tell WTVC-TV one staff member suffered a minor injury. Representatives for DeSantis’ campaign haven’t said who was driving the governor but say he is continuing on to his events. DeSantis was scheduled to hold events throughout central and eastern Tennessee. DeSantis has trailed front-runner Donald Trump in the GOP presidential contest.
