The White House was briefly placed on lockdown on Monday (November 9, 2026) after a man crashed his car into the sidewalk of a park across from the presidential mansion.<\/p>\n

The driver of the vehicle was “quickly placed under arrest” after he “became combative with law enforcement,” a U.S. Secret Service spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Video taken by witnesses showed the man struggling with police after being pulled from his car, which crashed into a sign on the sidewalk of Lafayette Park across from the White House.<\/p>\n

An explosive ordnance disposal team was called in to “sweep the vehicle as a precaution,” the Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Around the same time as the vehicle incident, “a second individual jumped a barricade near the northwest corner of Lafayette Park,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“That individual was also quickly placed under arrest,” the spokesperson said. “Both incidents are under investigation.”<\/p>\n

The White House was locked down for around half an hour during the incidents, correspondents said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
