A driver has been confirmed dead after his vehicle crashed into the White House gate in Washington D.C., the United States.

The driver died after his vehicle travelling at high speed collided with the gate, the U.S. Secret Service said.

“Shortly before 10:30 p.m. (1430 GMT) on May 4th,” the vehicle crashed into “an outer perimeter gate on the White House complex,” the federal law enforcement agency said in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, May 5, 2024.
