Vehicle strikes barrier by White House, Secret Service says

The Secret Service apprehended a driver Friday afternoon after she plowed her vehicle into a security barrier near the White House.

Witnesses saw a commotion on the White House grounds as security officers responded.

The Secret Service tweeted that the vehicle “did not breach” the security barrier, and the female driver was “immediately apprehended.”

The incident put the White House on lockdown. It happened as President Trump was hosting Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull inside.

Turnbull is remaining at the White House as the incident is being investigated.

“No law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident involving a vehicle hitting a barrier near the White House,” the Secret Service tweeted.
