A 30-year-old man is assisting police and the bomb squad is inspecting a car that has crashed to the main gates at the US Embassy in Yarralumla.

A robot is being used by the bomb squad to inspect the car, which is still wedged in the gate after the crash at 6pm.

Police say the bomb team’s involvement is just a precaution because the incident is at a diplomatic residence.

Emergency services vehicles and personnel have been gathered outside the building on the corner of Perth Avenue and Moonah Place and surrounding roads have been closed.

2. I should also mention that the gates are set back a fair way off the road and it was no accident...

I drive past the US Embassy every day on the way to work and remember it from when I was a kid when it had no massive fences around it....
