Description
The Secret Service is investigating after a U-Haul crashed into Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House.
The incident happened around 10 p.m. on Monday. United States Park Police and United States Secret Service said a 19-year-old driver intentionally crashed in the security gates outside of Lafayette Park. The driver has been identified as 19-year-old Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri.
One bystander told WUSA9 that the U-Haul tried to crash into the White House, though law enforcement hasn't confirmed that.
"It's a U-Haul truck, coming on H Street, tried to run into the White House," the witness said.
Investigators apparently found a Nazi flag with belongings inside the truck, but no other information on that was provided.
