Car Crashes Into Detroit Metro’s McNamara Terminal, Driver in Custody

Charging decisions remain pending with prosecutors yet to receive the case file.

Overview

  • A Mercedes sedan drove through the McNamara Terminal entrance around 7:30 p.m. Friday and struck a Delta Air Lines ticket counter before stopping inside.
  • Authorities say six people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, and the driver appeared uninjured and was detained immediately.
  • Airport police and TSA responded within seconds, and flights from the terminal continued with only localized disruptions to the check-in area.
  • Officials have not released the driver’s identity or motive, and investigators are examining how the vehicle accessed the terminal and the extent of damage.
  • The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office says it has not yet received charging documents, and a loved one told FOX 2 the driver was experiencing a mental health episode, a claim not confirmed by authorities.
