Aviation and Airport Safety

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport officials say a man drove a blue four‑door sedan through an entrance of the terminal Friday evening, smashing into the ticketing area near Delta Air Lines counters and injuring six people. The Wayne County Airport Authority said its fire department treated the six on scene, while the driver was taken into custody as airport police opened an investigation into the cause of the crash. Social‑media video from inside the departures lobby shows shattered glass and debris at the entrance, the car stopped with its hood and trunk open in front of the counters, and police tape cordoning off the area. Authorities have not yet released the driver’s name or indicated whether the incident is believed to be intentional or accidental, and there is no immediate word on operational disruptions. The crash highlights continuing vulnerabilities at terminal curbside and entrance areas that have been a focus of airport‑security planning since past vehicle attacks worldwide.
