Today, Tuesday, US authorities announced the arrest of a truck driver who collided with security barriers near the White House.
And while the service announced that some roads and footpaths were closed in the vicinity of the White House, the American media reported that a nearby hotel was evacuated.
Anthony Guglielmi, head of communications for the US Secret Service, said an investigation was under way as to why the truck crashed into security barriers.
The Secret Service did not mention whether U.S. President Joe Biden was at the White House when the accident occurred.
