In a shocking incident, a vehicle crashed into an exterior gate of the White House complex in Washington shortly before 6 pm on Monday, the US Secret Service said.

Briefing about this incident, US Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi said that the driver was immediately taken to custody as the 'cause and manner’ of the crash are still being investigated.

However, the White House did not respond to a request for comment on this matter.

Last month, a Delaware man was charged with drunk driving after he accidentally crashed his vehicle into US President Joe Biden’s motorcade (convoy).

The US Secret Service said 'no protective interest' was associated with this event.
