A spokesman for Vice President Joe Biden says figure skating great Peggy Fleming and former bobsled champion Vonetta Flowers sustained ``minor injuries'' in a traffic accident while riding in Biden's motorcade at the Vancouver Olympics.
Spokesman Jay Carney says the motorcade was carrying members of the U.S. delegation to an event Sunday when the accident occurred.
Carney adds that Fleming and Flowers were taken to a hospital as a precaution and were released. Biden was not involved in the accident.
Fleming won the gold medal at the 1968 Olympics. Flowers won gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.
