Man Crashes SUV Into Airport Terminal
A man drove his sport utility vehicle into a crowded airport terminal building, 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 leave the scene 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.
