Democratic vice presidential candidate for the U.S. presidential election, Governor Walz of Minnesota, was involved in a motorcade collision in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 2nd, during a campaign stop. Campaign staff and accompanying reporters were injured, but Walz himself was uninjured, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The accident occurred on the way from the airport to the venue of the election rally. At the beginning of his speech at the rally, Walz said, “Some of our staff and reporters were involved in a traffic accident and suffered minor injuries, but I’m relieved that everyone seems to be OK.” (Kyodo News)
