After the space was deemed safe and no injuries were discovered, the former Newark, N.J., mayor continued his speech and took questions from the audience.

"I have been a former mayor. We have dealt with a lot of crises. The key is to remain calm and see what you can do to help other people," Booker told a local Florida news outlet of the incident.

The driver was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the passenger had minor injuries, according to local reports.

"Unfortunately, we have traffic accidents often, and my prayers are with the two people. ... It seems like they are going to be OK," Booker said.
