A drunk driver hit a car driven by Cate Edwards, the daughter of presidential candidate John Edwards.

“I talked to Cate last night, she was hit from behind, I think by a drunk driver, and any other details, they’ll have to tell you,” Edwards told CNN while campaigning in South Carolina on Monday. “I don’t know much more beyond that. But she’s doing fine.”

While the accident has been classified as minor, the situation has got to be an emotional one for both the candidate and his wife Elizabeth Edwards. The duo lost their eldest son, Wade, in a car accident in 1996 after strong winds swept his Jeep off a North Carolina highway.

Weeks before Wade died, he was honored at the White House by First Lady Hillary Clinton for an essay he wrote on entering a voting booth with his father.
