The Republican White House hopeful was not hurt, police and DeSantis campaign spokesperson Bryan Griffin said.
A female DeSantis staff member suffered a minor injury and was later treated at the campaign event, police said.
Representatives for DeSantis' campaign did not answer questions about who was driving the governor or reveal details about the accident.
It's clear it needs to," said Republican strategist Terry Sullivan, who managed Marco Rubio's 2016 presidential campaign.
DeSantis' team has quietly expressed confidence for months that voters would eventually tire of Trump's escalating legal troubles and personal baggage.
