Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was involved in a car accident Tuesday morning, his campaign confirmed to NPR.
DeSantis, who is a Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election, was traveling to an event in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He and his team are uninjured, a campaign spokesperson said.
"We appreciate the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his continued protection while on the campaign trail," his team said.
According to The Associated Press, a female staffer had minor injuries but was able to attend the event, where she was treated, later that morning. The crash happened when traffic slowed at about 8:15 a.m., causing a four-car crash.
