BREAKING: Car Crashes Near White House, Driver Detained After Scuffle With Secret Service
jfeed ^ | 11 09 2026 | Staff

Posted on 11/09/2026 7:35:15 AM PST by yesthatjallen

A car crashed near the White House on Monday morning, and the driver was detained after a physical confrontation with Secret Service officers and National Guard troops, according to reporters at the scene.

A silver sedan drove onto the paved area at the north end of Lafayette Square, directly across from the White House, and struck a sign post, according to video circulating online. White smoke could be seen rising from the car.

The Secret Service ordered members of the White House press corps indoors at about 10 a.m. local time. President Donald Trump was at the White House at the time.

It was not immediately clear whether the crash was intentional, and there was no official word on injuries. The Secret Service has not yet released a statement.

Been there. Just roughly I’d estimate it’s around 300 yards from the White House. Concerning but no great imminent danger

Before anyone jumps to conclusions, (and I know no one here would ever do that), it’s possible someone had a medical emergency and wasn’t in his/her right mind when SS approached the person.

More likely just another drunk driver. The “white smoke” was probably steam from a busted radiator.

Let's be reasonable. The only exercise some people get around here is jumping to conclusions.

Must not be aware of the election results. No need to go after Trump now.

“it’s possible someone had a medical emergency”

Or ... it’s possible that someone, especially an elderly person, stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. It happens, sadly.

It wouldn’t surprise me if someone set up with deep and powerful connections would try a suitcase nuclear weapon or something similar if desperate enough.

Too many TV shows and movies I guess.

At the same time, they caught another guy trying to climb a fence there, although I don’t know the exact location, just somewhere in Lafayette Park. I don’t know if it was coincidence or conspiracy.

I doubt it was an old guy with a medical emergency, since security had to wrestle the driver to the ground after he got out of the car. Drunk, maybe, but I’d go with deranged Dim.

If the deranged followers of Mad Mo had something about the size of the 280mm “atomic artillery shell” ... I don’t think they’d hesitate to use it that way.

Was the car a manual, automatic or fully automatic with a large magazine? We need all of the facts.

Why do these types fight against, flee and resist the law enforcement agents? Looks very suspicious.

AN ARMED man has been arrested near the White House after he allegedly said threatened to kill Donald Trump.

Secret Service agents found the Venezuelan migrant in a stolen car packed with firearms, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Officers said they approached the suspect after spotting him “acting suspicious in his car while parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington.”

He reportedly told police that he heard voices in his head telling him to come to the capital and kill Trump, the DHS said.
