Driver Arrested After Crashing into Detroit Metro Airport Terminal

A dramatic scene unfolded at Detroit Metro Airport on Friday evening when a vehicle crashed into the McNamara Terminal, sending shockwaves through the airport. According to authorities, a driver lost control of their vehicle and drove it through an entrance, striking a ticket counter before being taken into custody.

Six people were treated for injuries by firefighters, while three Delta Air Lines employees were checked over after encountering debris at the scene. Miraculously, no passengers were reported on board the vehicle, according to officials.

Delta officials confirmed that there was no operational impact from the incident and that all flights continued to operate normally. However, authorities are still trying to determine the cause of the crash.

The airport's Wayne County Airport Authority released a statement saying that the driver was in custody, but it did not provide further details about the individual involved or the circumstances surrounding the incident. The incident is currently under investigation.

I dont think its fair that no passengers were on the car when it crashed into the terminal lol i mean who knows what could have happened if there was someone inside?? anyway, its just crazy that some people can lose control of their vehicle and cause so much damage. hopefully the driver is okay and gets some help for whatever issues they had. and 6 people getting injured is pretty bad, hope everyone recovers quickly

omg what if this guy had a family on that road? like three kids or something his actions couldve been so careless and now people could be in serious pain or even worse...
i hope he gets the help he needs but at the same time, i gotta wonder what was going thru his mind when he crashed into that terminal lol did he not see any signs or traffic cones? anyway, glad no one was hurt more than just the driver and omg delta employees gettin all up in the debris hope they're doin alright

Ugh, airports are already stressful enough without some random dude crashing into the terminal . I mean, what's with the lack of security checks at that entrance? It's like they just left it open for anyone to drive in. And now there's gonna be a whole investigation to figure out why this happened...like, did the guy have a medical emergency or something?

I'm glad nobody was on board the car, but can you imagine if a plane had been taking off or landing at that time? Chaos would've ensued for real . And what about the Delta employees who were exposed to debris? They must be shaken up pretty bad.

You'd think with all the security measures in place these days, something like this wouldn't happen...but I guess you never know what can go wrong on a Friday evening . Can we just get some answers from the authorities already?

Ugh, I'm just so worried about those 3 Delta employees who got hurt by flying debris ! It's crazy to think that something like this could happen at an airport where you expect complete safety and security. As a parent, it's terrifying to think about what could have happened if there were kids around - would they have been in harm's way too? I mean, what was going through the driver's mind that they lost control of their car like that? The fact that no passengers were on board is just one thing, but what if someone had gotten hurt trying to help those 3 employees or something? Anyway, gotta hope the investigation figures out what happened and makes sure it doesn't happen again

omg what a wild way to end the week crashing into the airport terminal I guess you could say they had a 'turbulent' relationship with speed lol anyway glad no one was on that crazy vehicle and it's just a lucky thing all flights took off without any issues . gotta wonder though how someone loses control of their car in an airport . maybe the driver got lost or something? idk but hopefully they get to take a little detour in jail instead of driving anywhere

 

[Silly Sloth]

OMG what if that car could've crashed into all those people who were just walking by?! so lucky no one was hurt ! I'm just glad the airport staff was able to stay calm and help everyone out ASAP , can't even imagine how scary it must've been for them. hopefully they get to the bottom of this investigation soon so we know what happened

I mean, can you believe what just happened at Detroit Metro Airport? A vehicle crashes into the terminal and I'm thinking about the psychology of the driver who lost control like that. Were they stressed out or distracted before getting behind the wheel? And then there's the fact that three employees got hurt, but thankfully no passengers on board... that's a miracle in itself . The authorities are still trying to figure out what happened, which is totally fair considering the potential implications of this incident on air travel safety. I'm just hoping they can get to the bottom of it and provide some clarity for everyone involved

I gotta say, how crazy can you get? A person loses control of their car and just drives into an airport terminal ?! It's like they thought it was a parking lot or something . And three Delta employees got hurt, can you imagine what that feels like? Miraculously no passengers were on the car, I guess that's a good thing .

I'm not surprised the authorities are still trying to figure out what happened though. It's definitely a weird incident . The airport did say there was no operational impact from it, so at least flights kept running smoothly . Still, you gotta wonder how someone can be that reckless and put others in harm's way .

Anyway, I'm glad the driver is in custody now . Hopefully they get some help for whatever led to this crazy behavior . Just a weird incident all around

oh noooo this is like something outta a movie!!! I mean i'm so glad everyone's okay especially the delta employees they're just doing their job and then BAM what a scary scene! hopefully the authorities get to the bottom of it soon can't believe someone would drive into an airport terminal like that

 

[Horrible H]

OMG what a crazy scene at Detroit Metro Airport ! I'm like totally shaken just thinking about it . No passengers on board tho, that's super lucky for everyone . Fingers crossed they figure out what happened so no one gets hurt next time . Safety first always and authorities gotta make sure the driver is okay too . Just hope they get to the bottom of this incident soon !

can't believe how lucky some people are . i mean, who loses control of their car and drives into a terminal? sounds like a recipe for disaster... apparently this guy was one of them . glad to hear no passengers were on board, but still, what's going through that person's head? . anyway, delta's got some good insurance , must be happy about the 'operation' continuing smoothly . and honestly, who needs a crash test when you can just drive into a terminal .

just got back from detroit metro airport and i'm still shaken by what happened last night . you gotta wonder how someone loses control of their car in a big place like that... it's just crazy to think about the impact on passengers and employees who could have been hurt . anyway, glad to hear no one was seriously injured or that flights weren't delayed too much . this is the kind of thing you never expect to happen near airport terminals .

This stuff happens all the time, people are only surprised when they get caught . We need to be more vigilant and look out for each other on our roads, because one person's carelessness can put an entire airport in danger . I'm glad no one was hurt by passengers, that could've been a nightmare .

what's the big deal here? some dude crashes into a terminal and gets arrested lol like, accidents happen right? i mean, can't imagine being in his shoes... driving to the airport and getting lost or something. maybe he just didn't see the entrance anyway, glad no one was hurt more than people are gonna make a big deal out of this... should be just another day at the office

I'm really frustrated with the lack of detail on this article... like what were they thinking? You gotta give us some more info on what led up to the crash! Was it a medical emergency? A road rage situation? Something else? At least the airport staff was spared, that's a miracle in itself . And six people hurt from a vehicle crash into an airport terminal? That's crazy talk . Can't we get some more context on this one?
