Ben Carson Returns to the Campaign Trail

Dr. Ben Carson resumed his campaign for the GOP Presidential nomination Thursday, ending the temporary suspension of all campaign activities following a tragic crash involving his volunteers.

The accident took place in Iowa on January 19th, according to a statement issued by the Carson campaign.

“A van transporting three campaign volunteers and a Carson campaign employee hit a patch of ice and flipped on its side where it was struck by another vehicle,” the statement describes.

The campaign members injured in the crash, according to another campaign statement, were Braden Joplin, Drew McCall, Aaron Ohnemus and Ryan Patrick Shellooe.

Joplin, who was a campaign volunteer, succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

Rest In Peace Braden Joplin. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. pic.twitter.com/p87TCnD44p
