A limo shipped from Washington, D.C. to taxi President Obama around Israel failed and had to be towed in Jerusalem.
The president hadn’t yet arrived in the country when the malfunction occurred. He arrived in Tel Aviv Tuesday.
“One of our vehicles is experiencing mechanical problems. This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on trips,” according to a Secret Service spokesman, Agent Edwin Donovan.
The Secret Service ships a number of limos for each presidential trip.
CNN reported the limo suffered a case of auto indigestion because a driver filled it up with gasoline instead of diesel.
