A driver has been confirmed dead after his vehicle crashed into the White House gate in Washington D.C., the United States.

The driver died after his vehicle travelling at high speed collided with the gate, the U.S. Secret Service said.

“Shortly before 10:30 p.m. (1430 GMT) on May 4th,” the vehicle crashed into “an outer perimeter gate on the White House complex,” the federal law enforcement agency said in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, May 5, 2024.

“Security protocols were implemented as officers cleared the vehicle,” it said, adding that “there was no threat to the White House”.

Limited traffic closures remain in effect as the agency and the local police department investigate the incident, said Anthony Guglielmi, chief of Communications for the agency.
