états-unis: un véhicule percute le portail de la maison blanche, le conducteur meurt sur le coup

La Maison Blanche, le 19 mai 2022, à Washington

Un accident peu banal. Un véhicule a heurté violemment le portail de la Maison Blanche, à Washington DC (États-Unis), samedi 4 mai, rapporte la police locale ce dimanche. L’homme qui se trouvait au volant a été retrouvé mort.

“Déclaré mort sur place”

Samedi soir, à 22h46 heure locale, soit dimanche matin à 4h46, heure française, les forces de l’ordre reçoivent un coup de téléphone faisant état d’un accident.

“Un homme adulte est déclaré mort sur place”, indiquent les services de police sur leur compte X (anciennement Twitter).

“Le véhicule a percuté une barrière de sécurité autour du complexe de la Maison Blanche”, indiquent-ils.

“Aucune menace” pour la Maison Blanche

Dans un communiqué, le porte-parole des services secrets américains Anthony Guglielmi précise que le véhicule roulait “à grande vitesse” lorsque l’accident est survenu.

“Aucune menace” n’a été relevée en direction de la résidence du président américain Joe Biden, assure-t-il cependant.

“Des protocoles de sécurité ont été mis en œuvre pendant que les agents (de police) évacuaient le véhicule et tentaient de porter secours au conducteur qui a été découvert décédé”, indique le porte-parole.

Une enquête a été ouverte. Elle sera menée par les services secrets et, pour ce qui concerne l’accident meurtrier, par le département de police de la métropole de Washington. L’homme décédé n’a pas encore été identifié et les raisons de cet accident restent encore inconnues.
