Two U.S. Secret Service armored vehicles used to protect Vice President Biden struck and killed a pedestrian in Temple Hills early Wednesday morning, authorities said. The vehicles were traveling together from Andrews Air Force Base at about 2:30 a.m. when the pedestrian was hit at the intersection of Suitland Parkway and Naylor Road in Temple Hills, U.S. Park Police said. The drivers stayed on the scene and rendered first aid until police and rescue officials arrived, said Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan. The pedestrian, an adult male, was transported to Prince George's Hospital Center in Cheverly with multiple critical injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. The armored sport utility vehicle and limousine were occupied only by Secret Service employees and were not carrying the vice president or any other dignitaries, said Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan. The vehicles, part of a fleet used to protect the vice president, were used to whisk Biden during his trip to Fort Lewis, Wash., and were heading back to a garage at the time of the incident. The armored cars were transported to and from Fort Lewis on military planes. The vice president was there to speak at a memorial service Tuesday for seven soldiers who were killed Oct. 27 in Afghanistan when their vehicle exploded after being struck by an improvised explosive device. Biden returned to Andrews much earlier and was already at his residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Northwest Washington at the time of the incident, Donovan said. Police have not released the pedestrian's identity pending notification of family. Park Police were still investigating the incident and had not determined a cause. :):):):) NO COMMENT from JOE? Wow! Nice, Joe, way to go with that famous liberal compassion... :) citi

So maybe she just needs some time to adjust to her new meds. citi wrote: My money is on SR...I'll be right up front. :) citi

I hadn't realized that "armored cars" are transported by military planes. I'd never thought about that before. Interesting!
On another note: It seems strange that the vehicles were heading for a garage at 2:30 in the morning. Unless the garage where they were heading is "several hours" away from Biden's residence, something doesn't add up.
Wouldn't you think the VP armored vehicles would be returned to the garage immediately after dropping Biden off at his residence several hours earlier?
Where were they coming from if they were just heading for the garage several hours later?

Obviously, citi is not serious, and no one takes her seriously (except maybe mary p - who must not be in on the joke). It's all part of the fun - she's admitted this herself! She's just playing a caricature of a wacked-out Ebert Beeman supporting, ill-informed nut job.

Dear Readers, I'm a dimpled sweaty bottom on a teacher that drinks a bunch of martinis on an empty stomach and gets stuck in and breaks restaurant chairs, can you tell my owner that she needs backup lights and those hazard warning beeping sounds big trucks use so she won't keep hurting other folks?

Wouldn't you think the VP armored vehicles would be returned to the garage immediately after dropping Biden off at his residence several hours earlier? Where were they coming from if they were just heading for the garage several hours later? Actually, Biden would have been on a separate plane from the cargo plane. He would have been taken from the airport to his home by another vehicle, and the vehicles in question would have been taken back to the garage. There's a great documentary on Air Force One that runs on the History Channel from time to time, and shows the logistics behind a presidential visit to a foreign country.
