The Secret Service detained the driver of a box truck late Monday after his vehicle collided with security barriers along a park near the White House.
The U-Haul truck crashed into the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street shortly before 10 p.m., Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
The crash was a good distance from the White House gates, but the incident prompted road and sidewalk closures, and the nearby Hay-Adams Hotel had to be evacuated.
