A driver crashed their vehicle into the White House gate Wednesday morning, leading to a massive police presence and local streets being temporarily shut down.
The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Secret Service flocked to the scene near the barricade at Connecticut Avenue and H Street Northwest after the incident occurred before 7 a.m. ET.
The driver, who has not been publicly identified, was brought in for questioning.
It’s unclear what led to the crash at this time but a police spokesperson told CBS News that no injuries have been reported.
The Independent has asked the Secret Service for comment.
This is the second time in a matter of months that a vehicle has collided with a White House structure. In October, a driver was arrested after ramming their car into the security gate.
