WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A car drove into an outer gate of the White House complex in Washington just before 6 p.m. ET (0000 GMT) on Monday, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
The U.S. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi stated that the driver was taken into custody as the cause and manner of the incident is being investigated.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the incident.
Last month, a Delaware man was charged with drunk driving after accidentally crashing his vehicle into U.S. President Joe Biden’s motorcade.
The U.S. Secret Service mentioned that “there was no protective interest associated with this event.”
