According to the Secret Service, which released a statement about the wreck just over an hour after it occurred, “At approximately 10:37 p.m. EST, an individual drove a vehicle into the Secret Service vehicle gate at 17th & E St, NW, in Washington, DC.”
The suspect, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was “immediately arrested,” according to Secret Service statements given elsewhere to the media, and the use of a robot to inspect the car for bombs was observed on the scene.
While an “investigation into the cause of this collision is ongoing,” the suspect’s car was “assessed and deemed safe.”

This wreck occurred three days after the No Kings protests, which were held in opposition to the administration of President Donald Trump in many major U.S. cities.
It also comes four days after Secret Service reportedly found a hunting stand within the sightline of Air Force One at the Palm Beach International Airport.
Regarding the discovery of the hunting stand on October 17, FBI Dir. Kash Patel told Fox News Digital, “Prior to the president’s return to West Palm Beach, [Secret Service] discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone.”
Continuing, he said, “No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities.”
This is a developing story.
