A vehicle struck a barricade outside the White House late last night, prompting immediate arrest of the driver by the Secret Service. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time near the corner of 17th and E Streets. The car involved was identified as a 2010 Acura TSX with Maryland license plates.

The Secret Service has not disclosed details about the driver’s identity or the motive behind the collision, leaving unclear whether it was intentional or accidental. President Trump was inside the White House at the time of the incident. While the White House was not placed on lockdown, the road leading to the gate remained closed until authorities towed the vehicle away.

No further information has been released about the driver’s actions or potential threats. The Secret Service continues its investigation into the event.
