The Bidens had just left the president's campaign headquarters in Wilmington after having a meal with members of his re-election team when the incident occurred, according to the White House press pool report.
Moments after Biden responded to a question from a reporter, a silver sedan with Delaware registration plates hit an SUV that appeared to be shielding the rest of the motorcade at the intersection across from the entrance to the headquarters.
Television footage showed Secret Service agents escorting Biden to his car after the impact.
The silver sedan, which sustained damage to its bumper, was quickly surrounded by security officers after it stopped.
Agents cornered the car and pulled weapons on the driver, who held his hands up.
The Bidens returned safely to their home in Wilmington following the incident, the witness said.
