25 May Downing Street, London, U.K.

A car crashed into the gates of Downing Street in London, the official residence of the U.K. prime minister, police reported. A video that was broadcast by the BBC shows a silver car driving at slow speed across Whitehall, the main thoroughfare that passes the end of Downing Street. The car then goes directly toward the wrought-iron gates that prevent public access to Downing Street which many call the heart of the U.K. government. Rishi Sunak, the British prime minister, was at Downing Street at the time of the incident. The incident set off a “rapid, intense security response.” However, police said they were not treating the incident as terror-related. No one was injured. The driver of the vehicle, Seth Kneller, of Crewe, was arrested at the scene.
