Delaware Senator Christopher Coons has revealed that he had to be rushed to the hospital after he got into a car crash. 

Coons, 62, shared the chilling news on Sunday afternoon on X, stating that he was in the passenger’s seat of a vehicle when another driver’s car collided with his around 10.20am.

‘Earlier today, a Delaware driver experienced a medical incident and collided with several cars, including one in which I was a passenger,’ the Democrat shared. 

He made it out with just minor injuries, which he was treated for at a local hospital, the politician said.  His exact injuries were not made clear. 

He added: ‘I’m now home and expected to make a full and swift recovery.’ 

In a follow-up post, Coons shared how ‘deeply grateful’ he is for the fast response from emergency personnel after the fender bender. 

Coons also shared that ‘no one was seriously injured during the crash.’ 

A total of six people were injured in what has been described as a multi-car accident, the Lewes Fire Department told CoastTV.

Coons is a longtime Delawarean who has held his Senate seat since 2010. 

He is also an esteemed lawyer who got his degree from Yale Law School. 

The politician previously served as the president of the New Castle County Council from 2001 to 2005 before moving on as the county executive until 2010. 

Coons is also the vice chair of the Senate Ethics Committee, which is in charge of dealing with senatorial ethics in the US. 

He has been referred to as an ‘effective’ representative of former President Joe Biden, The New York Times reported. 

Coons shares three children, Michael, Jack, and Maggie, with his wife Annie Lingenfelter. They tied the knot in 1996.

He just recently endorsed Angie Craig for US Senate, and said he chose to do so because the country needs ‘serious and effective legislators with the experience to hit the ground running on day one.’ 

Craig is running for US Senate to represent Minnesota.

Coons added: ‘I’ve seen Angie step up to take on this administration’s worst policies like Trump’s tariffs driving up grocery and housing costs for working families.

‘I’ve also seen a leader who is willing to go into communities, hear their concerns and bring them back to Washington to get stuff done for Minnesotans. 

‘That’s why Angie’s been successful in the House and why she’ll make a great United States Senator.’
