[HIGHLIGHTS] Car crashes into the barrier of Downing Street in London

On Thursday, a car drove into the barrier of Downing Street in London. A man was arrested, among other things, for property damage.

Whitehall Street, which runs through the government district, was closed. Since 1989, a large black metal fence has blocked the driveway to the British seat of government, Downing Street. The barrier has been closed to vehicles for a long time, and has been strengthened over the decades. The background of the incident was initially unclear, as reported by the BBC.
