A moving U-Haul crashed into a security gate near the White House on Monday night, prompting officials to evacuate nearby buildings. A motive was not detailed by law enforcement officials; however, local media reported that the driver was arrested. No injuries were reported at the scene. The incident took place near Lafayette Square, which is just north of the White House. Several buildings in the immediate area were either locked down or evacuated by first responders. A video has since surfaced on social media showing the truck from a distance. Authorities are currently investigating what was reported as a “suspicious package” that was left behind after the U-Haul truck crash that happened just before 10 p.m. Authorities closed several blocks on H Street for their investigation. MORE DETAILS TO COME.
