January crash at McNamara Terminal
This crash comes about four months after a car was driven into the McNamara Terminal at DTW.
On Jan. 23, 2026, a man was driving a black Mercedes-Benz in the far-left lane near the McNamara Terminal before making a sharp right turn, cutting between two cars, and driving straight through the terminal, taking out metal bollards.
He got out of the car, yelling incoherently before being taken into custody.
New barriers were installed outside the McNamara Terminal following that crash.
