A 67-year-old driver was taken into custody after crashing an SUV into Detroit Metro Airport’s Evans Terminal, breaching security and driving past a checkpoint. Authorities said the man traveled the wrong way, circled barriers, and entered through an ADA-required gap before slowly driving through a terminal door. Police said, “Driver used ADA-required barrier gaps, made a U-turn, then slowly drove through the terminal door.” Officials later revealed the suspect claimed he came to meet Tom Cruise and “save his dad.” One woman suffered a minor injury while evading the SUV but declined treatment. The FBI joined the investigation as prosecutors review possible charges following the major airport security breach.
