Social media users have raised questions about the Secret Service's response after a car plowed into a parked SUV that was guarding President Joe Biden's motorcade on Sunday night.

Biden was walking from his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, to his waiting armored SUV when a sedan hit a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was being used to close off intersections near the office for the president's departure, The Associated Press reported.

The sedan tried to continue into a closed-off intersection before Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle with guns drawn and instructed the driver to put his hands up.

A video posted on X, formerly Twitter, by journalist Max Lewis, shows Biden paused and looked over to the sound of the crash before being ushered into his vehicle.

"An SUV in President Biden's motorcade was hit by a vehicle as he was leaving his campaign headquarters in Delaware tonight," Lewis wrote in the post. "Secret service agents surrounded the car with guns drawn as Biden was ushered into his vehicle. You can hear the crash about 9 seconds in."
