Some vans at the back of a motorcade carrying Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz crashed on the highway while heading from the airport to a campaign stop in Milwaukee on Monday, but Walz was unhurt.

周一，民主黨副總統(tǒng)候選人蒂姆·沃爾茲的車隊在從機(jī)場前往密爾沃基的競選站時，后面幾輛面包車在高速公路上相撞，但沃爾茲沒有受傷。

President Joe Biden called from Air Force One and spoke to Walz a short time later, as the president was traveling to a separate campaign stop in Pittsburgh with Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris herself was campaigning in Detroit before heading to the joint event later in the day with Biden, and her campaign said that she also spoke with her running mate by phone after the crash.

總統(tǒng)喬·拜登從空軍一號打來電話，不久后與沃爾茲通話，當(dāng)時總統(tǒng)正與副總統(tǒng)卡馬拉·哈里斯一起前往匹茲堡的另一個競選站。哈里斯本人在底特律參加競選活動，當(dāng)天晚些時候?qū)⑶巴c拜登的聯(lián)合活動，她的競選團(tuán)隊表示，事故發(fā)生后，她還通過電話與她的競選搭檔交談。

The Harris campaign said the crash involved vehicles near the rear of the motorcade. Walz, who is also the governor of Minnesota, was riding closer to the front. Images posted on social media showed large passenger vans with crumpled front and back ends after the collision, which was said to have occurred on Interstate 794.

哈里斯競選團(tuán)隊表示，事故涉及車隊后方附近的車輛。沃爾茲也是明尼蘇達(dá)州州長，他騎車靠近車隊前部。社交媒體上發(fā)布的圖片顯示，在 794 號州際公路上發(fā)生碰撞后，大型客貨車的車頭和車尾都已撞毀。

Upon arriving at his event, Walz spoke briefly about the crash saying, "Some of my staff and members of the press that were traveling up with us were involved in a traffic accident on the way here today."

沃爾茲抵達(dá)活動現(xiàn)場后，簡要談及了此次事故，他說：“今天，和我們一起前來的我的一些工作人員和媒體成員在途中遭遇了交通事故?！?/p>

"We've spoken with the staff. I'm relieved to say that with a few minor injuries, everybody's going to be OK," Walz said. "President Biden and Vice President Harris called to check in, and we certainly appreciate their concern, and I want to express my sincere thanks to the U.S. Secret Service and all the local first responders for their quick reaction."

“我們已經(jīng)和工作人員談過了。我很欣慰地說，除了幾名輕傷者外，每個人都會沒事的，”沃爾茲說?！鞍莸强偨y(tǒng)和哈里斯副總統(tǒng)打來電話問候，我們非常感謝他們的關(guān)心，我要向美國特勤局和所有當(dāng)?shù)丶本热藛T表示誠摯的感謝，感謝他們迅速做出反應(yīng)?！?/p>
