(Bloomberg) -- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was involved in a car accident ahead of a campaign event Tuesday morning but he is uninjured.

DeSantis, who is currently in second place in most polls of the 2024 GOP presidential primary, was traveling to an event in Chattanooga, Tenn., when the accident occurred, said press secretary Bryan Griffin. 

“We appreciate the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his continued protection while on the campaign trail,” said Griffin.

No members of DeSantis’s team were injured in the accident.

DeSantis was scheduled to attend several fundraisers in Tennessee on Tuesday.
