Chattanooga Police officials said the four-vehicle motorcade was taking DeSantis to a campaign stop when the crash happened on a highway.
The motorcade came up on slow traffic and the lead vehicle had to brake quickly, which caused a rear-end collision involving the other vehicles, police said.
A female staffer did suffer a minor injury, but continued on to the event and was treated there, police said.
DeSantis, 44, launched his 2024 presidential campaign in May. The Republican governor has spent the past weeks traveling the country in his bid for the GOP nomination.
