Vice President Biden’s motorcade was involved in a fatal accident Wednesday
By Jordy Yager - 11/11/09 01:09 PM ET

Two Secret Service employees driving along the Suitland Parkway struck and killed a man early Wednesday morning in the vehicles the agency uses to transport Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden was not in either the armored SUV or limousine at the time of the crash.

The vehicles had just been flown back to the D.C.-area from Fort Lewis, Wash., where they had driven the vice president before and after he spoke to a crowd of troops for Veterans Day.

Sgt. David Schlosser, spokesman for the U.S. Park Police, said the crash happened at 2:27 a.m. on Wednesday in Temple Hills, Md., at the intersection of Suitland Parkway and Naylor Road. The victim, whose name was not released because his next of kin had not been notified, was pronounced dead at Prince George’s Hospital on Wednesday morning, Schlosser said.

1. What a twisted f---ked up headline. One would think that he was in the damn car at the time.

6. Agreed..

Grossly misleading headline, by design, I'm sure. Revolting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. How dreadful...

And not just because it was Biden's motorcade. But because someone, an innocent bystander, died.

I wonder what the circumstances were.

Very sad.

My condolences to the victim's family, and to all who knew him.

4. Agree, but it was not a "motorcade". The vehicles were being returned to the base after

having been flown to DC area from WA.

3. Suitland Parkway is a disaster to drive on. This is terrible. nt

[rocktivity]

25. Is it a pedestrian thoroughfare?

Especially at two in the morning?

5. Thats some headline......

It sucks.

It was deadhead equipment and had nothing to do with Biden.

[T Wolf]

7. The freaks are saying that Biden was driving - likening hinm to Ted K. Of course, they don't

mention Laura "vehicular homicide" Bush in their list of offenders.

[left coaster]

8. The freaks are misinformed..

..once again!

[Roland99]

9. Since when did they ever deter a right-wingnut?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

10. Many here called Bush a cop killer when a motorcycle cop wrecked and died in his motorcade.

It was stupid in that case just as it is in this case. :shrug:

[RedCloud]

11. Bush deserves a thousand times as bad headlines, that grandson of a Nazi!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

12. It doesn't make the headline true.

19. It's not legit to criticize based on who someone is related to, with

the exception of being related by marriage to a spouse. If it were, Billy Carter drags Jimmy down into the gutter and President Obama has a handful of relatives that are "interesting", thus far anyway. And the whole Kennedy clan is descended from criminal bootleggers. So let's leave relatives out of it and concentrate on the individual.

You know what they say - you can pick your nose, pick your friends, but can't pick your relatives - it's up there with condemning someone for their gender, sexual orientation or the color of their skin - all things that aren't based on choices but on chance.

[Angry Dragon]

29. Follow the money.......

that makes it legitimate.

13. Got a link?

I don't recall that.

16. Thanks.

Looks like that "Canadian" troll.

You said "many" here called him a cop killer. Still don't see that.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

15. Manslaughter this time apparently.

17. Still not seeing "many" posters calling Bush a cop killer.

So far, you have produced one post, from a troll.

Maybe your memory is getting bad. Or maybe, you just don't like DU that much.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

18. .

20. Many? I still don't see 'many'.

A real reach, even for you.

Fox news tactics.

[Psephos]

21. Change "many" to "many sympathised with the view" and you'll have no problem.

I'm sure the freepers are doing the same thing right now.

It's just politics. However, it's ingenuous of you and Tabasco to pretend that barely anyone here felt that way about *. You look kind of dumb denying the obvious.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

22. Feel free to do your own search.

[Strelnikov_]

24. Many here? Documentation please. n/t

[Dreamer Tatum]

26. It's idiotic to fault Bush for that accident and idiotic to blame Biden for this one

Simply idiotic, period, paragraph, end of story.

Anyone who called Bush a cop killer because of that accident was almost certainly speaking tongue-in-cheek.

Done.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

27. That's what I said.

[Dreamer Tatum]

28. And I agreed.

[question everything]

23. Sad. When one walks in the streets of D.C. one can never know

which motorcade is coming around the corner.
