A car slammed into a security barrier around 17th and E near the White House on Friday afternoon, prompting the Secret Service to put the grounds on lockdown. The driver has been apprehended, and no injuries were reported.
The “vehicle did not breach the security barrier of the White House complex,” Secret Service said in a statement.
It is not clear if the incident was intentional or not.
Because of the visit of Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to the White House, security has been elevated around the White House.
