ROMULUS, Mich. — A car crashed into a passenger terminal Friday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and the driver was immediately arrested.
Images posted online by TV stations showed a SUV inside the terminal near a security checkpoint and a man in handcuffs outside a police car. It’s unclear how the vehicle got around concrete barriers along the curb.
No serious injuries were reported. Airport operations returned to normal by early afternoon, the airport said on X.
Phone and email messages seeking more information from the airport were not immediately returned. More than a dozen air carriers use the Evans Terminal at the airport in suburban Detroit
“It was scary, man, like, we didn’t know what to do,” Sedeq Arshuhtpi, who works at the airport, told WDIV-TV. “We don’t know what’s inside that car. There’s a lot of people around. There could be a threat, so everybody was nervous.”
In January, a man drove his car into the airport’s McNamara Terminal, which is mostly used by Delta Air Lines. The driver emerged from the vehicle yelling incoherently and was arrested.
