Presidential Candidate Motorcade Involved In Wreck In Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, TN. – A four-vehicle motorcade taking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to a campaign stop in Chattanooga was involved in a crash on I-75 South this morning just below East Brainerd Road.

The call came in at 8:15 involving the accident at Mile Marker 2.8. The motorcade came up on slow traffic and the lead vehicle had to brake quickly, which caused a rear-end collision involving the other vehicles. All the vehicles involved were government vehicles accompanying Governor DeSantis and his team to his scheduled event.

Governor DeSantis was not hurt and continued on to the event. A female staffer did suffer a minor injury, but continued on to the event and was treated there.
