A car was crashed into the building of an arena today where US President George W. Bush was attending a political rally, briefly delaying the president's departure, witnesses said.

The president was unhurt and later seen waving to reporters before boarding Air Force One.

Security officials were seen running toward the entrance of the arena where Mr Bush had given a speech with guns drawn. Others kept spectators and media away from the incident. After several minutes, the president's motorcade left the scene.
