A campaign bus in Vice President Mike Pence’s motorcade was involved in a minor crash with a dump truck Thursday as it made its way to a election event in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, according to reports.
There were no injuries reported, although two motorcycle cops escorting the motorcade appeared to be involved in a separate crash along the way, reports said.
Pence got out of his limousine to check on one of the officers, whose bike was now laying on the ground, according to NBC News. An ambulance was on the scene.
A Washington pool reporter traveling with the vice president's entourage described the crash as a "minor fender bender," adding that Pence may have been moved to the limo from the bus after the accident.
The dump truck driver was observed speaking to police officials.
After the accident, Pence said he was “grateful for all of the law enforcement officers who support us safely to where we are going each day. Thank you for all you do!”
A crowd was beginning to gather in downtown Greensburg, where Pence was scheduled to speak at a “Cops For Trump” campaign event on Main Street near the police department.
