What happened at DTW
Friday evening at Detroit Metropolitan Airport turned chaotic when a vehicle smashed through the glass doors of the McNamara Terminal and came to rest among Delta check-in counters. Security video and witness clips show the driver wearing a black Detroit Lions jersey with Amon-Ra St. Brown’s name on the back. People in the area scrambled, which is exactly what airports hope people do when the unexpected happens. No fatalities were reported and officials say Delta operations continued while crews cleared the scene.

Quick law enforcement and emergency response
Witnesses praised the rapid arrival of police, TSA, and airport firefighters. Authorities detained the driver almost immediately and secured the area. Six people were treated on site by Wayne County Airport Authority firefighters and EMS responders, which suggests the injuries were not life threatening. Airports are crowded, noisy places where minutes matter, and this time the first responders did their jobs promptly and kept the situation from getting worse.
Impact on passengers and Delta operations
Despite broken glass and damaged check-in counters, Delta confirmed its employees were unharmed and flights were not disrupted in a major way. Travelers faced delays and inconvenience while the terminal was cleared and repairs were assessed, which is frustrating but preferable to a worse outcome. The airport managed to keep flights moving, a small victory when a headline could have been far darker.
Investigation and unanswered questions
The driver remains in custody while authorities investigate motive and cause. No name or official explanation has been released yet, and law enforcement will need time to check driving records, possible impairment, and whether this was an intentional act or a tragic accident. Until officials speak, speculation is just noise, and sensible folks will wait for facts rather than rush to judgment.
