Officers are looking for a driver who struck several people near the White House, killing one person, on Wednesday night.
It happened just before 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of 17th Street NW and Constitution Avenue NW, when Secret Service officers tried to stop a person in a vehicle with expired tags.
The driver indicated compliance with the direction to stop, but then fled southbound on 17th Street, crossing a red light and striking pedestrians in the crosswalk.

The Secret Service said the agency is working to find the driver of the vehicle and has issued a lookout to other law enforcement agencies. Anyone with information on what happened should call Park Police at 202-379-4877.
Below is the area where it happened.
