Driver arrested near White House after vehicle drives onto sidewalk
The US Secret Service arrested two people near the White House after one person drove a car onto the sidewalk and another jumped a barricade at Lafayette Park in front of the presidential compound.
President Donald Trump was at home during the incidents. The White House was placed on lockdown briefly and roads around the park closed.
A car crashed into the sidewalk that surrounds Lafayette Park just before 10 a.m., a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement.
Secret Service said both incidents were under investigation. It was not clear if the two were related.
