Tim Walz Motorcade Wreck: What We Know

Several press vans traveling with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s motorcade were involved in a crash on Monday as the Democratic vice presidential nominee headed to a campaign stop in Milwaukee.

According to reports from some pool reporters traveling with Walz’s team, members of the press and some campaign staffers were evaluated by medical personnel after the vans got into a crash in Milwaukee County. WISN political director Matt Smith reported on X, formerly Twitter, that the motorcade was heading to Milwaukee Area Labor Council’s “Laborfest,” where Walz is expected to speak this afternoon.

Smith reported that the motorcade carrying Walz and Wisconsin Representative Gwen Moore were “still en route” but shared videos of several white vans, including one marked with a sign that read “Press 1,” stopped on the side of the interstate following the crash.

New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa said the crash occurred just before 1 p.m. CDT and that a staff member in her press van “appeared to have a sprained or broken arm and is being treated by medics. Everyone else is shaken but appears to be in okay condition.”

Newsweek reached out to Walz’s team via email for additional information.
