The White House went on lockdown Friday after a vehicle struck a security barrier near the iconic building, the Secret Service said.
The female driver of the white Chevrolet van with Tennessee plates was immediately apprehended around 3:30 p.m. at 17th St. NW and E St. NW, the agency reported on its Twitter feed.
Her name was not immediately released, but a law enforcement official told NBC News that the woman has mental problems and was known to the Secret Service because she’s been around the White House before.
