Man crashes SUV into terminal at Fort Lauderdale airport
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A man drove his sport utility vehicle into a crowded airport terminal building on Sunday, slamming into a ticket counter and smashing through a wall before coming to a stop, officials said.
Two sheriff’s deputies and a federal air marshal at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport tackled the driver as he tried to escape and took him into custody, said Hugh Graf, a spokesman for the Broward County sheriff.
The driver, Alex Vila, 33, of Williamston, Mich., was treated at a hospital for minor scrapes and was being questioned. No one else was hurt, Graf said.
Vila had not been charged as of Sunday afternoon.
Airport officials did not immediately return a call seeking comment. No one was at the Southeast Airlines counter when the vehicle drove into it, and the airline’s operations were not affected, said Milton Corchado, director of in-flight operations for Southeast.
Jill, I am so glad you got some closure.
