Police officers escorting U.S. President Donald Trump’s motorcade were involved in an accident on Tuesday in Louisiana that injured three people.
The White House said the three motorcycle officers were being treated at a hospital and none was hurt seriously.
Trump‘s motorcade slowed down as it passed the site of the accident in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and reporters in a press car saw at least two officers on the ground and injured. Trump‘s armored limousine was unaffected.
