Police officers escorting President Donald Trump’s motorcade in Louisiana have been involved in an accident.
Four motorcycle police officers crashed at 1:30PM on Interstate 10 as the Trump motorcade departed Chennault International Airport in Lake Charles, Louisiana, according to the Secret Service.
The motorcade slowed as it passed the scene. Trump’s armored limousine was not affected.
Three of the four officers were taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries and are in stable condition, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.
A reporter following the president’s motorcade tweeted she saw “3 officers down on Interstate 10 near Lake Charles as Trump motorcade headed to Hackberry.” She wrote she saw “One in grassy ditch, sitting up. One flat on his back on highway shoulder, bleeding. A third standing up, bleeding from his arm.”
The injured officers were from the Westlake Police Department, Sulfur Police Department and the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The President’s motorcade continued on to the Cameron LNG Export Terminal in Hackberry, where Trump toured the facility. Later, he gave a speech promoting U.S. energy policy, infrastructure and economic growth.

Three police are injured (one seriously) and the Trumpkopf is yucking it up with this redneck Lt. Governor who is showing off his Trumpkopf socks??? I would have thought someone on the WH staff would have the common sense for him to visit the officers at the hospital on the way back to the airport but I guess that takes some degree of common sense and empathy?
I know Katanhadorah was a dumbocrat but I didn’t think he/she was that dumb
The Lieutenant governor met the president when he LANDED as evident from the tweet (as opposed to Katanhadorah’s elementary understanding that the president was leaving
Oh you mean like Obama going golfing right after being told that American James Foley was just beheaded?
Katanhadorah,—- continues to use a slang name of Adolf Hitler towards President Trump, while each new week brings a nastier Anti-Semitic, Anti-Israel, Anti- Torah values Democratic politician. Unbelievable! Katan has been silent on YWN lately because so many articles have been about atrocious things Democrats have been saying.
