Pictures showed police detaining a person.
A witness told Local 4 that the driver went up on the sidewalk to avoid the cement barriers.
During that time, a woman fell and hurt her knee, so the driver yelled at her, “Get out of my way, b----,” according to the witness.
“As he pulled in, (he) just kept revving his engine,” the witness said of the driver.
Local 4 is already at DTW and is working to get more information confirmed.
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.
