The US Secret Service confirmed on Thursday that Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a minor car accident earlier this week. The government now claims that her vehicle clipped a curb after initially reporting technical failure.

“During a protective movement Monday, a vehicle in a motorcade had a minor overcorrection and struck a curb,” according to a statement released on Thursday by Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. “The protectee was transferred to a secondary vehicle and the motorcade continued to its destination. There were no injuries to anyone.”

“Initial radio traffic indicated this was a mechanical failure and that was communicated to agency leadership by personnel supporting the motorcade movement. After the protective movement was completed, leadership was verbally updated with additional pertinent facts that the vehicle struck a curb,” Guglielmi added.

The vice president’s vehicle accident, along with the following disparity in how it was originally reported internally, is the most recent episode to bring the agency to public attention this year and raise new concerns about its accessibility both internally and externally.

The incident took place on Harris’ usual commute to work. The vice president has “an immense amount of gratitude” for her Secret Service detail, according to her spokeswoman, Kirsten Allen.

The vice president was unharmed, and Allen said she appreciated the USSS detail’s rapid action in getting her to the White House securely.

The disparity in the incident’s description and its worry for recently appointed Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle was first reported by The Washington Post.

It’s the most recent incident in a year that has seen greater criticism of the Secret Service.

Four Secret Service members were placed on leave in April after they were allegedly defrauded by two men who pretended to be Department of Homeland Security agents, according to a federal probe.

A month later, as President Joe Biden began his first Asia visit since taking office, two Secret Service agents were expelled from South Korea after a fight with a taxi driver and two citizens of that country.
