For the third time in the past 12 months, a motorist has crashed into the gates of the White House. The incident, which resulted in the death of the driver, occurred on Saturday.
The authorities characterized the crash as a traffic accident, not a politically motivated act.
In a statement posted on X, Secret Service spokesman Andrew Guglielmi explained the incident.
Shortly before 10:30pm on May 4th, a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed collided with an outer perimeter gate on the White House complex. Security protocols were implemented as officers cleared the vehicle and attempted to render aid to the driver who was discovered deceased. There was no threat to the White House. The fatal crash portion of this will be turned over to the Washington Metropolitan Police Department Crash Investigation Unit and the Secret Service investigation continues.
