Hampton, Iowa -The Trail-Washington Post- [1]A campaign van carrying the wife of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) collided with a motorcycle on a two-lane country road in central Iowa on Tuesday, sending the motorcyclist to the hospital.
Can’t you just imagine the van driver saying in his stupor, “Wow… I didn’t know they had other CARS in Iowa….”
No one in Michelle Obama’s Chevrolet Uplander was hurt, despite the fact that the van was not drivable. The campaign suspended its final event of the day.
The wreck occurred on State Road 65 as Obama’s two-car caravan headed to an event in a Franklin County park. As the van, driven by a campaign aide, started to make a left turn, a motorcycle that had been traveling in the same direction and rapidly passing cars on the left crashed into the van’s left side.
So, the Uplander got totaled by a motorcycle? Yeah.
Ask me again why I don’t drive one of those fiberglass beauties anymore.
