Possible drunk driver nearly hits Kamala Harris motorcade
A concerning incident occurred in the north-east of the country as a suspected drunken driver was seen going the wrong way on the interstate. This driver was dangerously close to colliding with a vehicle carrying US Vice President Kamala Harris. Local media outlet WISN 12 News obtained video footage from Monday night, showing the driver on a highway in Milwaukee. The footage captured the driver entering the offramp and driving west into the eastbound lanes, just as the motorcade was approaching. This was a road that had been closed off for the motorcade, making the driver's actions even more alarming.

As the motorcade's lead vehicle passed by, the white car can be seen moving into the left lanes. This continued for each of the more than a dozen vehicles in the motorcade, until the final ones, which were driven by Milwaukee County Sheriff's deputies, were able to make a traffic stop. Thanks to their quick response, the potentially disastrous situation was brought under control.

The driver has been identified as a 55-year-old man from Milwaukee, although WISN 12 News has not disclosed his name as he has yet to be formally charged. According to an arrest report obtained by the news outlet, when the man was informed by a deputy that he had almost hit a vehicle in the Vice President's motorcade, he was surprised and had no memory of entering the freeway or coming close to causing an accident.

He also stated that he had no intention of harming Vice President Kamala Harris or anyone else associated with her campaign. However, the report revealed that the man failed several field sobriety tests and had an open beer can in his vehicle. As a result, he was arrested for drunken driving and second-degree recklessly endangering safety. He is currently being held without bail and awaiting a hearing in jail.

The Harris campaign has referred all questions about the incident to the United States Secret Service. A spokesperson for the Secret Service told WISN 12 News that they were aware of the incident and grateful to the Milwaukee Sheriff's Office for their swift response in stopping the driver and taking him into custody for driving under the influence. The safety of the Vice President and her team is of utmost importance, and the Secret Service is committed to ensuring their protection at all times.
