On Labor Day, while on the way to a campaign stop in Wisconsin, several vehicles in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's motorcade were involved in a minor crash, resulting in some minor injuries, according to Walz.

"On the way to the event today, some of my staff and members of the press who were traveling with us were involved in a traffic accident. However, I am relieved to report that everyone involved sustained only minor injuries and will be okay. Thank you."

On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden, who were campaigning together, contacted to inquire about the situation and we are grateful for their concern. Additionally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the U.S. Secret Service and all local first responders for their prompt response in assisting us. As a result, on behalf of the vice president, myself, and our entire campaign, we are deeply appreciative of your efforts today and every day.
