Overview
- Wayne County Airport Authority placed 9,000‑pound concrete barriers on arrivals and departures lanes at all DTW terminals following the Jan. 23 breach.
- Newly released security footage from six angles shows a Mercedes speeding through traffic, cutting sharply into McNamara Terminal, and striking a Delta check‑in counter.
- The driver was detained at the scene and is undergoing a psychiatric and medical evaluation, with investigators preparing findings for the prosecutor’s charging decision.
- Officials reported six people were treated for injuries at the scene, a K‑9 search found no explosives, and airport operations continued without major disruption.
- Airport engineers and airlines are reviewing permanent barrier options due to weight and drilling limits on the departures level, with officials set to brief the public at a 2 p.m. press conference Thursday.
