A car jumped a curb and crashed into an informational sign near the White House on Monday, prompting the Secret Service to move journalists indoors and order the driver to the ground. The vehicle drove onto the sidewalk just north of Lafayette Park, which faces the White House, but did not reach the executive mansion's gates.
It remains unclear what caused the incident or who the driver was. The area where the crash occurred is frequently populated by pedestrians.
President Trump was at the White House at the time, preparing for meetings. There were no immediate reports of injuries resulting from the incident.
