A Biden campaign staffer driving a white SUV ‘may be at fault’ after colliding with a  Trump supporter’s truck on a Texas highway on Friday, after a ‘Trump Train’ of trucks surrounded a Biden campaign bus to ‘escort it’ out of the state, according to WFLA.

The at-fault vehicle may be the white SUV and the victim appears to be the black truck,” said the San Marcos, Texas Police Department in a statement after reviewing the crash via online videos.

Calls to the driver of the white SUV have gone unanswered and SMPD has not been contacted by the driver of the black truck. Since SMPD has not spoken to either driver at this time, additional investigation would be required to fully ascertain who was at fault,” the statement continues.

Over the weekend, the Texas Tribune reported that the FBI was investigating the incident.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a Friday incident in which a group of Trump supporters, driving trucks and waving Trump flags, surrounded and followed a Biden campaign bus as it drove up I-35 in Hays County, a law enforcement official confirmed to The Texas Tribune Saturday,” according to the report.

In a video of the incident, a black truck can be seen occupying the far right lane behind the Biden bus, which was weaving between lanes. A white SUV driven by a Biden campaign staffer can be seen encroaching on the truck driver’s lane when a collision occurs and the truck driver ‘pushes’ the SUV back out of their lane.

On Sunday, President Trump wrote over Twitter that the Trump caravan “did nothing wrong,” adding “Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!”

As the Daily Wire notes, Texas GOP Chairman Allen West similarly responded: “Where is the liberal corporate media’s concern about that real violence?” adding “It is more fake news and propaganda. Prepare to lose…stop bothering me.”

Naomi Narvaiz, a Texas Republican Party official in San Marcos, told The Texas Tribune that Trump supporters “decided we would jump on 35 to show support for our president. I didn’t see anyone being overly aggressive.” –Daily Wire
