A car crashed into a security barrier at the White House complex on Monday night, leading to the arrest of the driver.
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that the crash happened around 6 p.m. when “a vehicle collided with an exterior gate on the White House complex.”
“The driver has been taken into custody & we are investigating the cause & manner of the collision,” he said. “Expect traffic implications at 15th Street & Pennsylvania Ave & adjacent intersections.”
President Joe Biden was traveling at the time of the incident and thus was not at the White House.
