"During the drive to the airport, two cars in the motorcade had a minor traffic accident resulting in some damage to both cars," the statement said.
"Secretary Kerry was in the first of the two vehicles. He sustained no injuries nor did any staff or personnel. One vehicle was switched out and the motorcade proceeded to the airport without further incident."
Clarifying, Psaki told reporters on Kerry's plane that he did not get out of his car and that the vehicle switched out was the one behind him.
