Booker speech in Florida interrupted after car crashes into building

A speech by Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) was briefly interrupted Sunday afternoon after a van crashed into a building housing the campaign event.

The vehicle crashed into the front of a cafe in Miami Gardens, Fla., briefly interrupting Booker’s speech and prompting some attendees to leave, according to the Miami Herald.

The news outlet reported that the crash was likely an accident and had nothing to do with Booker’s campaign event, though the crash left some attendees rattled.

After the space was deemed safe and no injuries were discovered, the former Newark, N.J., mayor continued his speech and took questions from the audience.

The driver was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the passenger had minor injuries, according to local reports.
