Just hours before the first primetime speakers take the stage at the Republican National Convention Monday, a car carrying some of Donald Trump staffers was involved in a car accident on the way to the airport in New York City, the AP reported.

The presumptive GOP nominee was not harmed and was en route to Cleveland with his wife Melania, who is slated to speak at the convention this evening, his campaign confirmed.

CNN first reported that Trump’s motorcade was involved in the accident, but campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks later confirmed to AP that the staff car was not traveling with the motorcade.
