Carson halts campaign activity after volunteers involved in rollover crash in Iowa

“I’m suspending all campaign activities today due to a auto accident involving members of our team”, Dr Carson said on Twitter. A third volunteer was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s trauma center in Omaha, Neb.

Carson, in a statement earlier today, said he was canceling events on his campaign tour to see Joplin’s family as they awaited news on his condition. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family”, Carson tweeted Tuesday evening, along with a picture of the volunteer. “I also hope that the people understand that where we are right now is very serious”, he said.

“Even after more than 30 years experience counseling parents and family members in the most hard of times, it never gets easier”.
