U-Haul driver identified, charged after crashing truck into barriers near White House.
WASHINGTON - Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old Missouri man they say intentionally rammed a U-Haul truck into security barriers on the north side of Lafayette Square near the White House Monday.
U.S. Park Police say Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri, was taken into custody at the scene. Kandula faces multiple charges including assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, the threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family, destruction of federal property, and trespassing.
Officials released his name Tuesday. FOX 5's Stephanie Ramirez confirmed that Kandula graduated early from Marquette High School in Chesterfield in January 2022. The Rockwood School District released his yearbook photo.
The collision happened just before 10:00 p.m. near 16th Street. Roadways and walkways around the area were closed off while police investigated. No injuries were reported.
