The Secret Service said its Uniformed Division officers detained the driver of a U-Haul truck Monday night after the vehicle crashed into security barriers near the White House. Still, many questions remain. FOX 5's Shomari Stone reports from Downtown D.C. with the latest details. Cell phone video shot at the scene showed the truck crashing into the barriers. Law enforcement recovered a red, white, and black Nazi flag from the vehicle. FOX 5's Melanie Alnwick says a backpack, duct tape, and a notebook with pages full of writing was also retrieved from the truck.
Had the barriers been breached, two fences providing additional layers of security would have been in-between the driver and the White House. Lafayette Square has long been one of the nation’s most prominent venues for demonstration near the Executive Mansion. The park was closed for nearly a year after federal authorities fenced off the area at the height of nationwide protests over policing following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but it reopened in May 2021.
A U-Haul crashed into a barricade outside the White House Monday night and nearby hotels, including the Hay-Adams- have been evacuated. FOX 5's Shomari Stone reports from the scene of the crash with more details.
